Advanced Example: Creating a Custom Column with Velocity Template

Custom columns can display different contents based on external conditions. Use the Velocity template language to specify these conditions.

To create a custom column that displays a particular image when an event's target is in a specific Zone, create the custom column as described previously, but specify Velocity template-language script in place of the HTML format.

The code in the Format text box might look like this: 

<HTML>
#if (($targetZoneUri.length()>0) &&
       ($targetZoneUri.startsWith("/All Zones/
        System Zones/Public Address Space Zones/
        Ford Motor Company")))
        <IMG src="file:///c:/fordlogo.gif" />
#end
</HTML>
