14 - Implementing your derived column in Workshop

📖 Task Introduction

Function-backed properties like the one you’ve just derived are calculated on-the-fly in your Workshop module’s object table. In this task, you’ll configure your table with your new column.

🔨 Task Instructions

1. Open your flight alert Workshop module in Edit mode and highlight your object table so that its configuration panel opens on the right side of the screen. If your module is still open from the previous update, save and publish and then refresh your page.

2. Proceed to the Column Configuration section and click ➕Add column.

3. In the pop-up window, choose Function-backed property at the bottom. Your table will temporarily appear blank until you configure your new column.

4. A new block has been added at the bottom of your list of columns. Click the fx button in that new block to choose a Function to back your new column.

5. In the Select a function ... field, choose your Function by name (return to your code if you need help remembering the name).

6. After you’ve chosen your Function from the list, select Use a runtime input from the Function inputs section.

   • After a few seconds, your table will reload with your two new columns.

7. Back on the column configuration panel, you now have two new column names. Open each one at a time and configure using the image below for guidance.

8. Save and publish.
