  <Accordion title="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.

    ```yaml theme={null}
    columns:
      title:
        title: "Title"
        width: 250
        hasFocus: true
      systemRequirements.systemRequirement.severity:
        title: "Req Severity"
        width: 100
        formatter: severity-formatter
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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.
