​
Core Column Types

Column Type Reference — Complete reference of all supported column types with properties and behavior Data Types — Fundamental data types used by columns (string, integer, enum, date, workflow, etc.)

​
Specialized Column Types

​
Data Entry Columns

Enum Columns — Single-select dropdown columns with enumeration values from Polarion Multi-Enum Columns — Multi-select dropdown columns allowing multiple enumeration values per cell Date and Time Columns — Date and datetime columns with calendar pickers and formatting Rich Text Fields — Text columns supporting formatted text, lists, links, and embedded content

​
Linking and Relationships

Item Link Columns — Single work item reference columns linking to items in Polarion Multi-Item Link Columns — Multiple work item reference columns showing multiple linked items per row Task Link Columns — Specialized columns for linking mitigation tasks and downstream items

​
Advanced Columns

Calculated Columns — Formula-based columns that compute values from other columns (read-only) Server Render Columns — Server-executed scripts rendering custom data (read-only) User Reference Columns — Assignee and user reference columns with team collaboration features

Configuration Reference

All column types are configured through the risksheet.json configuration file in the columns[] array. Each column definition requires:
  • header — Display name shown in column header
  • binding — Data field name from work item (auto-determines type)
  • type — Explicit column type (string, enum, itemLink, etc.)
  • readOnly — Whether column is editable (automatic for formulas, calculated columns)
  • filterable — Whether users can filter by this column
  • visible — Whether column is shown by default (users can toggle)
For complete configuration reference, see Risksheet.json Format.
RISKSHEET automatically detects column types from the Polarion field binding. You can override auto-detection by specifying the type property explicitly in configuration.

​
Column Behavior

​
Read-Only Columns

The following column types are always read-only:
  • Calculated columns — Formulas cannot be edited
  • Server render columns — Server-generated content
  • System fields — Created, updated, author fields
  • Reference columns — Read-only upstream relationships

​
Filterable Columns

Users can filter by most column types in the RISKSHEET interface. Set filterable: false in configuration to hide a column from filter menus.

​
Visibility Control

Column visibility is controlled by:
  • Configuration — visible: false hides column by default
  • User preferences — Users can toggle column visibility in the RISKSHEET UI
  • Permissions — Read-only permission hides the column from editing views

​
Common Configuration Patterns

​
Add a Basic Column

See Add a Basic Column for step-by-step instructions on adding text, enum, and date columns.

​
Add Upstream/Downstream Traceability

See Configure Upstream Traceability Columns and Configure Downstream Traceability Columns for linking configuration.

​
Create Calculated Columns

See Configure Calculated Columns for formula syntax and examples.

​
Configure Column Sorting and Filtering

See Configure Column Sorting for multi-level sorting and sort persistence.
