    The hidden Class appears.

  5. Select the Class and then click Add icon ( ).

  8. To freeze one or more columns, select a column, and click the Freeze icon ( ).

    The icon changes to Unfreeze ( ).

    Frozen columns remain visible while scrolling through the Class table. A dark vertical border separates frozen and unfrozen columns. For example,
