Make a column that will show all your posts or tags, favorites, tweets from selected trends and hashtags and results of searches.
Columns and Other Features

At the upper portion of the navigation bar, choose the icon appearing like a feather quill which will let you adjust the future tweet settings.
Write the message and indicate the specific time when you wish to post it. Just click on Tweet to set the post. There will be a column showing all the future tweets. You can remove, add and edit these accordingly.
Select ?Add Column? to start adding columns for your lists. A menu will appear where you can choose the type of column. Feel free to add more columns and types as you go along.
