Description

I really don't want to make the Google Spreadsheet template any more complicated, but it seems a shame that the alternative is to make people write JSON and find a place on the web to host it.

I am thinking it would not be too bad to add support in the VCO.ConfigFactory for more columns which would not be included in the spreadsheet template. Or possibly to make a second more complete template which is only linked from deeper in the documentation.

Research direction

Start by examining VCO.ConfigFactory and the existing Google Spreadsheet template, then read the surrounding documentation about JSON configuration. Clarify which additional columns or a second template are required before implementation. Done means the supported configuration is available without forcing users to write and host JSON, while keeping the main template simple.
