James,

I believe you need to have the columns defined in a METADATA section 
of the layer to tell maplab what columns to display. Applications 
like maplab have different rules that they implement on top of 
mapserver. So, mapserver has a set of minimal requirements and any 
application built on it will add its own assumption on top of that, 
like whether or not METADATA tags are required and what format they 
are in.
