@section Column view
A great way to view and edit properties in an outline tree is
@emph{column view}. In column view, each outline item is turned into a
@emph{column view}. In column view, each outline node is turned into a
table row. Columns in this table provide access to properties of the
entries. Org mode implements columns by overlaying a tabular structure
over the headline of each item. While the headlines have been turned

Create the column view for the local environment. This command searches
the hierarchy, up from point, for a @code{:COLUMNS:} property that defines
a format. When one is found, the column view table is established for
the entire tree, starting from the entry that contains the @code{:COLUMNS:}
property. If none is found, the format is taken from the @code{#+COLUMNS}
line or from the variable @code{org-columns-default-format}, and column
view is established for the current entry and its subtree.
Turn on column view. If the cursor is before the first headline in the file,
column view is turned on for the entire file, using the @code{#+COLUMNS}
definition. If the cusor is somewhere inside the outline, this command
searches the hierarchy, up from point, for a @code{:COLUMNS:} property that
defines a format. When one is found, the column view table is established
for the tree starting at the entry that contains the @code{:COLUMNS:}
property. If no such property is found, the format is taken from the
@code{#+COLUMNS} line or from the variable @code{org-columns-default-format},
and column view is established for the current entry and its subtree.
