You can customize how QuickSight readers view pivot tables so that they are easier to read and understand at a glance. You can choose to hide a pivot table's plus and minus icons, hide columns that only have a single-metric value, and hide collapsed columns from view. These options can help QuickSight authors remove clutter from their pivot tables and provide an easier reader experience for QuickSight users. This is not the same as choosing a pivot table layout. For more information on pivot table layout options, see Choosing a layout.
These options can also be accessed from the Combined row fields menu of a pivot table. The layout that you choose for your pivot table determines how this menu is accessed. For more information on accessing the Combined row fields menu, see .
