Enrich Basic Table Data with Column Groups
For a base table created via the application path, column groups can be added to cover more data. The system supports several methods to populate dynamic columns for a table. The table below briefly describes each of the methods. After the columns are added to ADT, you can build and update ADT data and add tags to the automation column and map column.
The following table describes the methods for building column group data.
| Methods for Building Column Group | Description | |
| Replicated Intent | Intent Templates (Device-based) | Replicate seed intent for specified devices in the current row and populate each cell with the replicated intent. |
| Intent Templates (Path-based) | Replicate seed intent for each path in the current row and populate each cell with the replicated intent. | |
| Intent Templates via Other ADT (Device-based) | Filter matched NITs from a source ADT for device-based intent replication based on the seed devices in the current ADT. | |
| Intent Templates via Other ADT (Path-based) | Filter matched NITs from a source ADT for path-based intent replication based on the path properties in the current ADT. | |
| Formula | Device Properties | Add a column displaying the property value of the device in the same row. |
| Converting Function | Add a column by converting another column via special function, e.g. convert an IP column to a device column. | |
| Network Objects | Map | Add a column with matched map from specified folders using devices in the same row as the matching key. |
| Path Intent | Add a path intent column using the intent name or intent tag as the filtering key. | |
| Intent Cluster Member | Add an intent column with the matched members from intent cluster (NIC) using devices in the same row as the matching key. | |
| Probe | Add a probe column using the devices in the same row as the matching key. | |
| Data from Other Table | Another ADT | Copy columns from another ADT. |
| Imported CSV | Copy columns from CSV file. | |
| ADT Dataset | Recurring Benchmark | Organize raw data from benchmark into ADT dataset for specified devices. |
| Imported CLI/Config Files | Import external CLI or configuration files into ADT dataset for specified devices. | |
| Write Via Intent | Enable Intent to programmatically write to this type of ADT dataset column. | |
| Interactive Retrieval | Define command and retrieve data interactively. | |

Note: The column groups are added after the base table is built. |
