# What is the field list?

The field list displays every field that's in a Quickbase table and gives you options for setting field properties. On this tab, you can:

- [Select each field name to manage all properties for the field](/v1/docs/change-the-properties-of-a-field-from-a-legacy-form)
- [Filter and sort the fields shown on the tab](/v1/docs/filter-and-sort-the-fields-list)
- [Delete fields one at a time or in groups](/v1/docs/deleting-a-field)
- [Duplicate a field](/v1/docs/copy-fields)
- [Set the key field for the table](/v1/docs/setting-key-fields-for-tables)
- [Specify which fields Quickbase should search](/v1/docs/excluding-fields-from-searches) in Quick Find searches, or when you specify in advanced searches and reports
- [Specify which fields are used in filter criteria throughout Quickbase](/v1/docs/specify-which-fields-are-reportable)

> [!NOTE]
> Note: Reporting defaults such as which columns are displayed, column order, and sorting is now set on the [default report settings](/v1/docs/setting-reporting-defaults) page, and is no longer affected by the order of fields in the Fields list.
