How do I create a custom column?

I know this is probably a really stupid question but I am having a hard time. I tried searching the forums but didn't find it. i am using version 9.6.9, and all i want to do is add a column under the playlist that shows the tool used so I can tell whether LAME was used to encode.

right click the column headers, select "Columns">"More...". now type a name for the column. under "Pattern" enter

[%__tool%]

close the dialog. now again right click the column headers, select "Columns" and "tick" the new column you've just created to enable it. you can drag it into place if it's not where you want it to be.

That's really cool, and %__tool% isn't listed in the title formatting help.  What other special fields are there?
