Content Explorer: Add Custom Metadata Column

Open kylefernandadams opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

Solution: Provide the ability to add custom metadata template property values as a column or to override the default columns in a json array property. For example; columnProps. This would allow the modification of some of the ItemList.Table.Column values found here: https://github.com/box/box-ui-elements/blob/master/src/components/ContentExplorer/ItemList.js#L172

Describe alternatives you've considered Manually modify the Table in the ItemList and add/remove columns. Realistically, its easier to create a custom list/table component rather than modify and maintain the UI Element.

Hello Box UI Development Team,

Agree with @kylefernandadams . It would be great to be able to extend/add other columns to the default columns in ContentExplorer of your choice ( e.g. Metadata or FileInfo). Our application users find that sometimes it's very convenient to see additional "quick" info about the file (description or e.g. status: processed/pending/reviewed e.t.c.).

I will much appreciate if such an opportunity appears in the ContentExplorer in the future!! Thank you :)
