Some users complaining about the ambiguities of ood output. Part of them are using only GUI accessing cluster and when they see in Job Composer/Active Jobs Status “green” Completed they don’t check the real state.(As you can see on the screenshot Status is Completed but the state is FAILED)  
Is it possible to add an option to make columns manageable?

Hi and welcome! Sorry for the delay.

We don’t have that support yet, but I put this ticket in for the same.
