I think you have to enable something but I’m not at a terminal to check. Pretty sure it’s an option for entity screen to enable display state. ---

The Table selection screen is tied to the **Tables** Entity Type. You cannot display **Customer** Entity Data on a Table button. This will work on a Customer selection screen to display Customer Name, Account Balance and Phone: ```auto $1{ENTITY ACCOUNT BALANCE:$1}{ENTITY DATA:Phone} ``` ---

> [@Mong\_KP](#): > > You mean change value from here? No. If you do that then your Table selection screen will be tied to Customers and your Table buttons will not appear. Instead, you will see Customer buttons on your Table screen. What you are asking to do cannot be done. **_You cannot display Customer Entity Data on a Table button._** ---

You need to configure ALL Entity States to use the same formatting code Or at the very least, set the formatting code for **New Orders** and **Available** States: ![](https://forum.sambapos.com/uploads/default/original/3X/8/2/8207379afee6dbcaf61b937a69c7091cbd698c2e.png) And ensure your Customers Entity Screen is set to **Use Display State Format** … ![](https://forum.sambapos.com/uploads/default/original/3X/7/5/750e493366e67df9bff36743a5b2152eda58530d.png) ---

> [@Mong\_KP](#): > > Could i have your Entity Screens please You can make any Entity Screen that you want. If you want one called Customers, just create it. You could even clone the Tables screen, then change the Name to Customers, and change the Entity Type to Customers.
