Sets the columns to be displayed when the index table is rendered for this resource.

Simple usage:

Pass in a list of the methods to call on your resource in the order you wish to see them in the table

class UsersController < InheritedViews::Base

table :first_name, :last_name

end

Except:

You can also use the default content columns from your ActiveRecord object and only exclude certain columns.

class UsersController < InheritedViews::Base

table :except => :first_name

end
