For example, we want to hide the phone numbers and add the name of the employee's manager. To do that we perform the steps described below. In the Server Script field, we make the following edits:

• deleting lines containing column names 'business_phone' and 'mobile_phone'
• adding a new line containing the system column name 'manager' from the Employee table

            const columnNames = [
                'business_phone',
                'mobile_phone',
                'email',
                'timezone_id',
                'location',
                'department',
                'unit',
                'work_schedule'
            ];

            const columnNames = [
                'email',
                'manager'
                'timezone_id',
                'location',
