Customizing the Target List Table

The TOM Toolkit provides some functions for customizing the target list table without requiring custom templates or other code.

Changing Which Columns Are Displayed

The TARGET_LIST_COLUMNS settings allows defining which columns are displayed on the target list page. The default value is:

TARGET_LIST_COLUMNS = [
    "name", "type", "observations", "saved_data"
]

For example, to display the target’s RA And DEC as the last two columns in the table:

TARGET_LIST_COLUMNS = [
    "name", "type", "observations", "saved_data", "ra", "dec"
]

Valid values to include in TARGET_LIST_COLUMNS consist of:

1. Attributes or properties of the Target Model. See Adding Custom Target Fields to learn how to add custom fields to a Target Model.

2. Extra Fields or Tags associated with the Target Model. Note that tags that are not present for an individual target will appear empty.

3. The special fields:

   • name: The name(s) of the target, looks up additional names.

   • saved_data: A count of the number of saved datums.

   • observations: A count of the number of observations.
