How to make a column for an ack with a known group

You need a new template for the cell, for instance containing:

{% load argus_htmx %}
{% if incident|is_acked_by:column.context.group %}X{% endif %}

Our recommended filename for the template file is:

``htmx/incident/cells/_incident_ack_by_group.html``

It is necessary to use a specialized settings-file for this, since you need to both set where to look for the additional template, and to set up the actual column.

Tell Argus where the template is

There are two available methods to tell Argus where the template is. They can be combined, but then the template in the hardcoded directory name (option 2) always takes precedence.

1. Add a Django app at the start of INSTALLED_APPS that has a directory templates/ that contains the new template file. You can use the same app for any other overrides.

2. Add a directory to the DIRS list in the TEMPLATES setting, see Django settings: TEMPLATES in the official Django documentation. Templates here will override any template from any app, provided the relative path matches.

Set up the column

You need to add the column to a column config:

INCIDENT_TABLE_COLUMN_LAYOUTS = {
    "mylayout":[
        ..
        IncidentTableColumn(
            "mygroup_ack",
            "MYGROUP",
            "htmx/incident/cells/_incident_ack_by_group.html",
            context={"group": "MYGROUP"},
        )
        ..
    ],
    ..
}
