Styling Table Cells in Workspace View

Hello everyone,

 

We have a requirement to highlight certain cell values that are empty in a given table:

The requirement is that we want the workflow cells to have a background color of red when it is empty in the Workspace view. I see that something like this should be possible because we had contractors perform similar work and they were able to make a priority field show red when set to high like so:

They no longer work with us, and I haven't been able to find any information online on how to achieve this effect in the workspace view.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks,

 

Aaron

Hi @AaronMcD ,

 

Configure Highlighted Values for Empty Workflow Field

1. Create Base Highlighted Value Record

  • Navigate to Highlighted Values in Application Navigator (or open sys_highlighted_value_list table directly)
  • Create a new record with:
  • Table: Your target table name
  • Field: workflow
  • Workspace: Leave empty
  • Save the record

2. Add Highlight Condition (Related List: Highlighted Value Conditions)

  • On the form, locate the Highlighted Value Conditions related list
  • Create a new record:
  • Condition: workflow is empty (or workflowISEMPTY=true)
  • Color: Select your desired highlight color
  • Save the record

3. Configure Workspace Display (Related List: UX Highlighted Values Configurations)

  • On the same form, locate the UX Highlighted Values Configurations related list
  • Create a new record:
  • Workspace: Select your target workspace
  • Save the record

If my response helped, mark it as helpful and accept the solution.
