This will be a quick one, I've recently found out about this cool possibility within FortiOS. You can select your default wanted Policies Columns displayed within the GUI. This setting is per vDOM though.
In this example, I'm adding the Active Sessions column per policies:
config system settings
set gui-default-policy-columns "name" "policyid" "source" "dstaddr" "schedule" "service" "action" "profile" "logtraffic" "bytes" "active_sessions"
A simple view of the now per default GUI rendering with active sessions:
And you'll find plenty of possible columns to choose from:
fgt (settings) # set gui-default-policy-columns
*name Column name.
name Name.
policyid Policy ID.
srcintf Source.
dstintf Destination.
srcaddr Source Address.

schedule Schedule.
