How do I use Dynamic Fields in aslagle/reactive-table - meteor

Question

Does anyone have more details on how to use Dynamic Fields in aslagle/reactive-table (I find the documentation confusing.
I'm trying to add a column with a check box, such that as a person clicks on a row, the check box is toggled.
This way a user can page through a table of records and select items, then when they are done selecting I'll save their final choices.
Right now I can only capture click events by row. But I cannot figure out how to save clicks from as a person moves from one page to another.
Here's how I create the checkbox, using a columncell template; I'm using a unique record id (i.e. 'rin') as a html element id.
<template name="checkboxCellData">
<input type="checkbox" id="{{ rin }}" checked="{{ clicked }}">
</template>
Heres the event toggle.
Template.regsUnderReview.events({
'click #reactive-table-1 tbody tr': function (event) {
// When the row is clicked get that rows data
var row = this;
let cb = document.getElementById(row.rin);
if (row.clicked) {
row.clicked=false;
//set check box when row is clikked
cb.checked = false;
} else {
row.clicked = true;
cb.checked=true;
}
}
});
I think I'm only saving the checkbook state in the DOM, and not the correct Reactive table location....I don't want to store the value in the database, because I'll have tons of users saving their selections...I'll only want cache their selections in the web browser and then on final seletion, save the IDs selected to a user settings database.

Meteor sessions may be what you're looking for.
You can initiate one with Session.set("yourKey", "yourValue"), and you can get the data by using Session.get("yourKey"). Sessions in Meteor are also reactive.
If you are using Meteor 1.3+, you will probably have to add the session package with meteor add session in order to use the above methods.
