About this file
This document is an instructional guide for customizing columns in SAM.gov award searches using the Data Bank section. The guide explains that while standard search results on SAM.gov's main page display fixed columns, users can achieve full customization through the Ad Hoc Report Builder by signing into their account, navigating to Data Bank, selecting Contract Data, and choosing Ad Hoc. Users can then create a new report or edit an existing one to add or remove specific attributes (columns) by selecting from available attribute groups and managing selected fields displayed on the right side of the screen.
The guide includes key tips for leveraging advanced reporting capabilities, such as filtering and sorting data by column (for example, to identify highest-value contracts), saving customized search queries with tailored column layouts in the user's workspace, and exporting reports in various formats including CSV. The document notes that the FPDS.gov search function is migrating to SAM.gov's Data Bank, making the SAM.gov interface the recommended platform for federal contract data searches and analysis.

To add or remove columns in SAM.gov award searches, you must use the Data Bank section, specifically the Ad Hoc Report Builder, which allows for full customization of visible data fields (columns). Standard search results on the main page generally have fixed columns, but Ad Hoc reporting allows you to select, add, and remove specific attributes.
Steps to Customize Columns (Add/Remove) in SAM.gov:
1. Sign In: Navigate to SAM.gov and sign in to access full data bank features.
2. Go to Data Bank: Select "Data Bank" from the menu, then select "Contract Data" and choose "Ad Hoc".
3. Create/Edit Report: Select an existing report or create a new one to customize.
4. Manage Columns (Attributes):
1. Add Columns: Select attribute groups to view available fields, then click the attribute to add it to your report.
2. Remove Columns: In the report builder, identify the selected attributes (columns) on the right side of the screen and remove them.
5. Save and Run: Save your customized report to keep these column settings for future use.
Key Tips for Customizing Reports:
Ad Hoc Reports: These allow you to pick specific fields from the contract data to create a custom view.
Filtering & Sorting: In addition to adding/removing columns, you can sort by column (e.g., highest value contracts) and filter data to narrow results.
Save Searches: You can save your customized search queries, including your tailored column layouts, in your workspace.
Data Types: Reports can be exported in various formats (CSV, etc.).
Note: The FPDS.gov search function is migrating to SAM.gov's Data Bank, so using the SAM.gov interface is recommended.
