Description Belen Barros Pena 2013-04-11 15:38:58 UTC 
I should be able to customise the bitbake variables table so that it shows the information I am interested in in the way I want to see it. This means I should be able to:

* Hide a column
* Show a column (to be chosen from a pre-defined set)
* Reorder columns

That pre-defined set of columns might include things like:

* Key
* Human readable name for the key
* Value
* File name where the value is set
* If value is overriden by a different value for the same key set on a different file
* Key description

etc. The full set is TBC.

To get an idea of this feature, check:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/webhob/phase3_final_web_prototype/project-build-configuration.html

And click the control above the bitbake variables table, on the right hand side.

Hi Belen,
  What's the full set? I only see "variable", "value", "set in file", "description".
  Thanks.

Those 4 columns are the full set: nothing else to show! :)
