6.3 Configuring columns in the Reservation Management table

To add/remove/modify the columns in the Reservation Management table

1. Open the reservations.xml file located in the Viewpoint home directory. Locate the <fields> element.
2. Configure any desired buttons by inserting the corresponding element. The available buttons are:
   • <cpu>
   • <disk-size>
   • <duration> – Pseudo-field that derives the duration of an object from its start and end date
   • <end-date> – See Filtering Results for date range syntax
   • <id>
   • <label>
   • <memory>
   • <name> – Pseudo-field that displays a reservation's label if it exists, and if Viewpoint is configured to use reservation labels; if the label is not displayed, the reservation's ID is instead
   • <owner>
   • <resource-group> – Corresponds to the reservation's resource string value in Moab
   • <start-date> – See Filtering Results for date range syntax
   • <state> – Either active or inactive; values are case-insensitive
3. Set at least one field as the primary key by setting the primary attribute of the column name to "true" (The default is "false").


It is strongly recommended that you create an <id /> field as the sole primary key field. You can make this field invisible if you do not want users to see it.

<id primary="true" visible="false" />

4. Set the visible attribute to specify whether the column should be displayed or hidden. The default is "true".
5. Set the width attribute to specify the width, in pixels, of the column.
6. Insert the <title> child element in any field type and specify the text to be displayed to the user as the name of the column.
