System properties -> glide.ui.activity_stream.style.* (add custom style)

[Morten Johansen]

Hi all,

Has anyone had success styling a custom field added to a activity formatter on a form?

Visual example below:


OOB you have the two properties "glide.ui.activity_stream.style.comments" and "glide.ui.activity_stream.style.work_notes" you can edit in system properties.

I have a field called "log_history" in a scoped app where I would like to add a custom colour instead of the default when displayed on the activity formatter. Tried adding the property with the same syntax as the two above mentioned properties, but with no effect.

Hi Morten,

you can configure the Style of your custom Journal field, from the record form, right click on the field name > Configure Styles, then click on New and add your custom style for example:

background-color:red;

This is the result:

Did this solve your question? Or do we need to follow-up on this?

Hi Morten,

Curious to see if you ever got this to work as I am currently trying the same thing.

I have created a custom journal field on my form as well and while I can change the colour of the field as visible to the analysts by doing as recommended in the post by Alberto below, I cannot seem to get the styling to apply to the updates when viewed in the service portal.

Does anyone know if it is possible to build a custom system property to achieve this similar to the two built into the system, ie:

• glide.ui.activity_stream.style.work_notes
• glide.ui.activity_stream.style.comments

Any attempt I have made to copy the above format but replace it with my own field name at the end has failed and I am unable to colour code the bars of my custom field as per the original post above.

Thanks all.

Hi there,

for anyone who is interested to also change the styling of the workspace: Configure journal field tile icons and colors in Configurable Workspace. There is a limited number of attributes in the dictionary for field styles:

Workspace activity stream background
Workspace activity stream tile icon
Workspace activity stream icon color
