# configure_column_view_modes

> Configures the visualization mode for columns in the filters panel. 

Controls how each column is rendered in the filters panel. Each key is a column name and each value is a view mode. Available modes depend on the column type but include options like `"barChart"`, `"list"`, `"histogram"`, `"scatterPlot"`, etc.

This is a UI configuration step that affects how the project is displayed in Graphext. It applies to the dataset referenced in its inputs. If your recipe produces multiple datasets (e.g. a filtered dataset that is then passed to create\_project alongside the original), you need to add separate configure steps for each dataset you want to configure.

## Usage

The following example shows how the step can be used in a recipe.

<Accordion title="Examples" icon="code" defaultOpen="true">
  <Tabs>
    <Tab title="Example 1">
      Sets the age column as list and the vote\_intention column as barChart

      ```stan theme={null}
      configure_column_view_modes({ "age": "list", "vote_intention": "barChart" })
      ```
    </Tab>

    <Tab title="Signature">
      General syntax for using the step in a recipe. Shows the inputs and outputs the step is expected to receive and will produce respectively. For futher details see sections below.

      ```stan theme={null}
      configure_column_view_modes(, {
          "param": value,
          ...
      })
      ```
    </Tab>
  </Tabs>
</Accordion>

## Inputs & Outputs

The following are the inputs expected by the step and the outputs it produces. These are generally
columns (`ds.first_name`), datasets (`ds` or `ds[["first_name", "last_name"]]`) or models (referenced
by name e.g. `"churn-clf"`).

<Accordion title="Outputs" icon="right-from-bracket" />

## Configuration

The following parameters can be used to configure the behaviour of the step by including them in
a json object as the last "input" to the step, i.e. `step(..., {"param": "value", ...}) -> (output)`.

<Accordion title="Parameters" defaultOpen="true" icon="sliders">
  <ParamField path="Items" type="string">
    One or more additional parameters.

    Values must be one of the following:

    * `barChart`
    * `list`
  </ParamField>
