Table Columns
Table Columns are added to Rancher via the addTableColumn method.
addTableColumn
(Rancher version v2.7.2)
IMPORTANT NOTE: on Rancher version v2.8.0 we've introduced breaking changes to the behaviour of this extension enhancement (Table Columns). Previously, you would target the resource name of the table you were trying to extend, which was different from the usage of the LocationConfig object in any of the other extension enhancements available. With these new changes, the LocationConfig object will be used to target a specific page that contains a table and add it to that particular one, therefore having a better control of the new table column appearance.
This method adds a table column to a ResourceTable element-based table on the UI.
Method:
plugin.addTableColumn(where: String, when: LocationConfig, options: Object);
Arguments
where string parameter admissable values for this method:
