Columns and Binding Paths - Nextedy Documentation

How do column binding paths work?

Column keys in the YAML use dot-separated binding paths that follow the expansion paths defined in the data model. A simple property like title maps directly to the base entity, while a multi-level path like systemRequirements.systemRequirement.severity navigates through a relationship to access a property on a related entity type. Each segment of the path corresponds to a navigation property in the data model.

columns:
  title:
    title: "Title"
    width: 250
    hasFocus: true
  systemRequirements.systemRequirement.severity:
    title: "Req Severity"
    width: 100
    formatter: severity-formatter

What column properties can I configure?

Each column supports several configuration properties:

Property	Type	Description
`title`	string	Display header text
`width`	number	Column width in pixels
`visible`	boolean	Show in default view (default: `true`)
`hasFocus`	boolean	Receives focus when editing a row
`formatter`	string	Name of a formatter for conditional styling
`columnGroup`	string	Associates column with a visual group

Column visibility can be overridden in named views, allowing different analysis perspectives without changing the base configuration.
