Columns types

OmCore's modules consist of varying datatypes such as text, timestamps, and files. Whereas these datatypes are specific to each module's data requirements each module also contains generic data such as the last modified timestamp, published information, and item's display orders.

Generic data columns

1. Multiple selection column (all modules)
   1. Displayed to the left of each item's row in the table, it allows the user to select individual and multiple items. See Selecting items above.
2. The ID# column (all modules)
   1. Presents the ID of each item.
3. The scheduling column (optional)
   1. If a module has scheduling options enabled, this column will be displayed to the right of the table.
   2. The column displays an icon symbolising the current scheduling status of each item.
   3. For more information on scheduling see: The info panel.
      
4. The published column (optional)
   1. This column is displayed if a module has publishing enabled.
   2. The column is displayed furthest right of each item's row.
   3. The column presents the current status of each item.
   4. Published items are represented by a green spot containing a white tick.
   5. Unpublished icons are represented by a red spot with a white slash.
   6. For more information on publishing items see: The Info panel.

Custom data columns

1. The columns presented within each module differ depending on the structure of, and the data stored within, each module.
2. The content presented within each column depends on the type of form field used to capture the data. For example, the date form field presents the date as a text string, e.g. "3rd October 1975" and the file upload field presents the file name as a link which, depending on the type of file, will either open a preview of the file or allow the file to be downloaded.
