You’ll need to set up your data so that it contains the following structure for each row:

```auto
{
    "stationName": "MyStationOne",
    "tagPath": "[provider]SomePath/MyTag",
    "displayAlarm": "[provider]SomePath/MyTag"
}

```

In this data, the `displayAlarm` uses the same string tag path as `tagPath`, but the View itself will be responsible for determining if the icon should be shown.

You then need to set up a column configuration for each column you want in your table, and you need to make sure that the `field` property of each column configuration matches the keys in the row data.

The important part is selecting that the column should render a view and supplying the path to the View (note the setting of the `render` property and the `viewPath` property):
