It would de-clutter certain units staff assignment page for some units.

We are a smaller hospital. Our registration staff floats around to different parts of the hospital to fulfill different roles (i.e. central registration, phone room, imaging registration) and there can be up to 8 people assigned to these "roles."

Our LBD department only needs 2 staff assigned to a bed/role.

according to this documentation, the number of columns can only be set at a global level. If we have 8 columns showing up for LBD, more staff can be assigned than is necessary, leading to confusion. https://pubs.vocera.com/platform/vs/5.3.3/help/vs_sa_help/index.html#platform/vs/5.3.3/topics/sa_modifyappconfig.html
