# configure_column_visibility

> Configures the visibility of a column in different Graphext sections. 

Controls whether a column is visible, pinned (always shown), or hidden in the Graph and Details sections of the project. Pinned columns appear prominently in filters. Hidden columns are still available in the dataset but not shown by default.

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">
      ```stan theme={null}
      configure_column_visibility(ds.bio, { "graph": "pinned", "details": "hidden" })
      ```
    </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_visibility(column: column, {
          "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="Inputs" icon="right-to-bracket">
  <ParamField path="column" type="column" required>
    Column to be configured.
  </ParamField>
</Accordion>

<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="graph" type="string">
    How to show a column in the Graph section.

    Values must be one of the following:

    * `pinned`
    * `hidden`
  </ParamField>

  <ParamField path="details" type="string">
    How to show a column in the Details section.

    Values must be one of the following:

    * `pinned`
    * `hidden`
  </ParamField>
