Customize Columns
On this page you will learn about customizing the columns in the Assets Overview page in Kelvin UI.
Asset Page
The Assets page is the first page you will see when you log into the Kelvin UI. You can also go there by clicking on the Asset option in the left sidebar.
Here you have a list of all Assets registered in Kelvin. From here you can see the Assets and associated information.
This uses the asset-centric table which is a highly optimized way to customize columns and view many kelvin-centric information related to the assets that are relevant to you.
For example, here we have an example with Control Changes and Recommendations included.
The View More button in the Recommendations column is a button that takes you directly to that recommendation to make a record a decision about that Recommendation.
Column Settings
Asset-centric tables bring many more advanced features to the lists to give you greater control in setting up the right overview experience to streamline your workflow. This includes being able to incorporate specific Recommendations and Control Changes into the lists with direct links to control the Assets.
When you click on the button you will get the Configuration Table options come up;
You will then see a new option bar open up on the right hand side.
Options
There are a number of options available to find and pin the Assets of interest.
Kelvin UI intelligently remembers your search results from the Assets Overview page and will use it in the Asset Details page to rotate through your Assets that are on the search results ONLY. This allows you to quickly move between the details page of each Asset that matters the most to you at that time.
If you want to view other Assets in the Assets Details page you will need to return to this page and update or clear the search box and pinned Assets.
There are times when you want to start your column customization again. To do this click on the Reset button to return all column settings back to the factory default setup.
When you are inside the column settings you can freeze columns left and right. This ensures the columns will always show, even when you scroll left or right to see all the columns.
When you are inside the column settings you can show or hide columns to ensure you only see what you need to see.
When you are inside the column settings you can see an overview of the columns available and showing.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Total | Total number of columns available (both active and hidden) |
| Frozen | Total number of columns that are in the left or right freeze positions out of a total number of columns that can be moved to the frozen sections |
| Locked | Total number of columns that can not be moved or edited |
| Active | Total number of columns that will be shown on the table |
| Hidden | Total number of columns that will not be shown on the table |
When you are inside the column settings with a large number of columns, this feature is useful to find columns and to hide the hidden columns from the list to make it easier to see what is relevant.
Add Custom Columns
You can add a number of customizable columns to the Asset Table list.
Each type you select can be customized to only the information that you required. This is especially useful if you want to have the same content type in multiple columns showing different types of information.
For example, you can select Control Change, you can create separate columns for Pending, Success and Failure counts to easily get a picture of where Infrastructure problems can be occurring.
Assets have a special section called Asset Properties.
This is a client custom configuration that can hold any type of information useful for clients. It does not affect Kelvin in any way.
In this setting, you can select the properties to show in the column. This is a list of all property names available across all Assets.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Asset Property Name | This is the name of the Asset Property Name to display its value for each Asset in the column. If this property does not exist for an Asset, then it is left blank in the row. |
When Assets are added to a Kelvin SmartApp™, the associated Asset Parameters become available.
