Outlook Views

Question

What are the column names in an Outlook Compact view?

Answer 1

Hi,
These are the column names in the Compact view as default.

You can also right-click the column and choose Advanced view Settings to Reset:

I look forward to hearing from you to get the results of the troubleshooting.

Answer 2

Compact view is the default Inbox view in classic Outlook, but the returned documentation does not list a fixed set of column names for Compact view.

What is supported:

• Compact is the default Inbox view and shows messages grouped by conversation.
• To work with explicit columns, Outlook requires a list view such as Single or Preview.
• In a list view, columns can be added or removed from View > View Settings > Columns.
• Example column names mentioned include From, Subject, and Received.

If the goal is to see or change visible columns, switch from Compact to Single or Preview, then open View Settings > Columns.
