Once you change to table view in a form, this can be set against your profile, so the next time you enter this screen it will be in table view rather than list view. I am not aware of a general setting to make all forms default to table view.

I do not want it to remember whether it is a list or table view that was viewed. 

When the user first visits the page, the list and tables have a default selection of columns visible. How do I set a custom field or another field to be visible in that default list of columns?

If this was in Enterprise Explorer you could just edit the relevant base profile directly but that isn’t possible in Aurena. We got around the Aurena issue by doing the following:
- Clear your personal profile
- Log into Aurena & use the Page Designer to reconfigure the page as required (show/hide fields, change view type etc.)
- Log out of Aurena to save the changes to your personal profile
- Log into Enterprise Explorer, view your personal profile & locate the configuration
- Copy the configuration to the relevant base profile & remove any values in users’ personal profiles

Maybe not the best solution but it worked for us.

Yes. There is no general setting to make all forms default to “Table View”.
