### Overview

Control which columns are displayed in the **OwnerOf AssetInstanceList** on user properties by configuring the DisplayFlags attribute. This allows removal of redundant columns such as **Owner**, which is implicit in this context.

### Prerequisites

- Access to edit forms 
- Familiarity with the **Web.User.PropertiesFull** form 
- An existing **AssetInstanceList** bound to =/OwnerOf/Assets 

### Steps

1. Open the **Web.User.PropertiesFull** form for editing. 
2. Locate the AssetInstanceList element that uses the OwnerOf data source. 
3. Modify the DisplayFlags attribute to explicitly define the columns to display, excluding **Owner**. 
4. Save the form. 

### Example Configuration

Default configuration:

```xml
<AssetInstanceList
    ID="as_of"
    DisplayFlags="DefaultOwner"
    DataSource="=/OwnerOf/Assets"
    EnableViewState="false"
    ZeroCountTemplate="The user does not own any assets."
    AllowSelect="false">
</AssetInstanceList>
```

Updated configuration with the **Owner** column removed:

```xml
<AssetInstanceList
    ID="as_of"
    DisplayFlags="Name,Status,CostCentre,Properties,Services,ShowServiceUser,LoadListDefaults,ShowCategories,ShowDescription"
    DataSource="=/OwnerOf/Assets"
    EnableViewState="false"
    ZeroCountTemplate="The user does not own any assets."
    AllowSelect="false">
</AssetInstanceList>
```

### Result

The **Owner** column is no longer displayed in the asset list. All remaining columns continue to function as configured.

### Additional Notes

- The default DisplayFlags="DefaultOwner" includes a predefined set of columns. To customize visibility, replace it with a comma-separated list of specific flags.&#x20;
- Only the columns specified in DisplayFlags will be shown.&#x20;
- The available flags include:&#x20;
  - Name&#x20;
  - Owner&#x20;
  - Status&#x20;
  - CostCentre&#x20;
  - Properties&#x20;
  - Services&#x20;
  - ShowServiceUser&#x20;
  - ShowCategories&#x20;
  - ShowDescription&#x20;
  - LoadListDefaults&#x20;
- DisplayFlags must be explicitly defined to remove individual columns from the default configuration.
