Which statement is true about default columns?

• A. The default turns into Required automatically
• B. Default can be removed from any report
• C. Default columns cannot be displayed
• D. The default status controls whether a column is automatically displayed in all reports

Answer: (D)

Default columns determine which fields show up automatically when you open or create a report. The default status acts as a global visibility flag: if a column is marked as default visible, it will appear automatically in every new report; if it's not, it won't show up unless you add it manually. You can still customize each report to include or hide columns as needed, but the starting point for display is defined by the default setting. That’s why the statement about the default status controlling automatic display in all reports is the best fit. The other options misrepresent how defaults work: default does not imply a column becomes required, it isn’t about being unavailable in all contexts, and while you can override defaults in individual reports, the default itself does govern initial automatic display.
