# Dispatch Planner column reference

> Every column in the Dispatch Planner v2 Trips and Drivers/Assets tables: what each one shows, whether it is on by default, and a link to its full definition.

This reference lists every column in the two Dispatch Planner v2 tables: the **Trips** table on the left and the **Drivers/Assets** table on the right. Click a column name to see what it shows, how its value is worked out, how to sort and filter it, and why it can be blank.

To show, hide, or reorder columns, open the column configuration menu on either table. Columns marked **No** in the **On by default** column are hidden until you add them there. Your column layout is saved with your view, so a saved view can show a different set of columns from the defaults listed here. See [Saved views](/en/help/getting-started/saved-views).

## Why can't I see a column listed here?

Some columns appear only for certain users or accounts. If a column below is missing from your column configuration menu, the reason is in the **Who sees it** column.

| Column | Table | Who sees it |
| - | - | - |
| [Carrier Line Haul](/en/help/loads-trips/dispatch-planner-columns/trips/carrier-line-haul) | Trips | Users with the **View Carrier Rate** or **Billing** permission, or the Admin, Partner Admin, Office Admin, or Biller role |

| [Available](/en/help/loads-trips/dispatch-planner-columns/drivers/available) | Drivers/Assets | Only accounts that still use the earlier availability columns. If **Available** is not in the Drivers/Assets table column configuration menu, your account uses **Available at** and **Available in** instead. |

| [Final Stop](/en/help/loads-trips/dispatch-planner-columns/drivers/final-stop) | Drivers/Assets | Only accounts that still use the earlier availability columns. If **Final Stop** is not in the Drivers/Assets table column configuration menu, your account uses **Available in** instead. |
