Custom columns of the following types will appear in the left sidebar, which is commonly known as the 'Tag browser':
Within the Tag Browser the word 'Category' is used to refer collectively to the 'columns' that are displayed there. I mentally rename the sidebar as the 'Category Browser'.
If you right click on 'empty space' in the Tag Browser, there are some settings you can apply to the panel as a whole, there are more panel wide settings in
Preferences->Look and Feel->Tag Browser, and yet more behind the Configure Button at the bottom-left of the sidebar. The Category names (e.g. Authors) also have right click settings, and right clicking individual items presents a list of available actions.
Have you watched the
Video Tutorials. I found them very useful when I started using calibre. Ordinarily I loathe instruction videos, but with these I found it easy to watch a segment, pause, and try out the related feature. if I didn't 'get it' I'd rewind the video, re-watch the segment, and try again.
