Note: The Table views of each Sublist are different from each other. The columns that you enabled or disabled will be remembered for each Sublist. You can use different Sublists for different purposes. For example, one Sublist for calculating the total inventory cost of all the items. And the other Sublist for planning the timeframe of the entire project.
