Tabs

Tabs are pages in your grade book and you can create as many as you need to.
They can be hidden/copied/moved with a tap&hold on a specific tab or from the Tools/Spanner (top bar) > Tabs 
You may want to create a tab per subject, if you're a primary teacher or create a tab per semester, a tab to take attendance, a tab for quizzies, tests, etc.

Each column in iDoceo is configured by its editor and its grade type or grading scale

The Editor defines how will you insert data in that column. The default editor is Text/Icons but you can choose from a wide variety of editors (explained here)

You can configure an unlimited number of default settings for new columns using Favourites
By default your new columns will have the same properties as the previous column in your gradebook.

The column manager

The column manager is a powerful tool that will let you edit,move,erase,hide,freeze and copy multiple columns at once.
From the grade book view, tap on Tools/Hammer > Columns and Categories
