Object List Extension Points

Each vSphere object type has a list view to which you can add columns. The vSphere Web Client SDK provides an extension point for the list view for each vSphere object type. Each extension point requires a data object of type com.vmware.ui.lists.ColumnSetContainer.

The column list extension point names follow the format vsphere.core.${objectType}.list.columns, where the ${objectType} placeholder corresponds to the type of vSphere object. The following names are valid ${objectType} values.

■	cluster: ClusterComputeResource object

■	datacenter: Datacenter object

■	dscluster: StoragePod object

■	dvs: DistributedVirtualSwitch object

■	dvPortgroup: DistributedVirtualPortgroup object

■	folder: Folder object

■	host: HostSystem object

■	hp: HostProfile object

■	network: Network object

■	resourcePool: ResourcePool object

■	datastore: Datastore object

■	vApp: VirtualApp object

■	vm: VirtualMachine object

■	template: Virtual Machine template object
