Hello,

What kind of column do you want to add?
If it is custom fields created with Toolset Types plugin, you can try these:
Dashboard-> Toolset-> Post Types, find and edit your custom post type, in section "Post Fields to be shown as columns in Post Type listing in WordPress Admin", here you can choose specific fields to display in the post listing in WordPress Admin.

If you need other custom columns, you will consider custom codes, for example WordPress built-in filter hook: manage_{$post_type}_posts_columns

Thank you for the suggestion. However, I don't see a section called "Post Fields to be shown as columns" when I go to edit my post type. I have version 3.4.17 installed currently.

I've attached an image of what I see.

How do you setup the custom fields?

That option only available for custom fields created with Toolset Types plugin, see below test site:

1) Create a post field group with a single line field in post type "Sales Reps":

2) Edit the post type "Sales Reps"

You will see the section "Post Fields to be shown as columns in Post Type listing in WordPress Admin"
