A method and system for displaying context-sensitive columns in a table of a graphical user interface (GUI) are provided for software running on a processor and being displayed to a user. The context-sensitive columns allow additional information to be displayed in a table on a window of a graphical user interface only when the columns contain information that is relevant. In this manner, the context-sensitive columns are not displayed and do not take up space on the display if they do not contain relevant information thereby freeing the display from unnecessary clutter and possibly reducing the need for horizontal scrolling in a table to view all the columns of data contained therein. For example, an error column may be displayed according to this embodiment only if errors have occurred and are included in one of the cells of the column. The context-sensitive columns may allow a more relevant display of information in the limited display space of a graphical user interface window thereby improving the graphical user interface of the software application.
