Hi Chandra,



A formatter is a form element used to display information that is not a field in the record.


Add formatters to a form by configuring the form.



1. ResolutionShaper :



Resolution shaper can be applied to other tables.


You can view a list of Resolution Shaper configurations by accessing this page -   sys_resolutionshaper_config_list.do.



To add Resolution Shaper/Timeline view to an incident -


1. Add a UI formatter field called Resolution Shaper on the incident form.


2. Add a configuration in the sys_resolutionshaper_config for incident table.



2. Roadmap Bar Chart :



Use bar charts to compare two or more values. You can create bar and horizontal bar chart reports.


Bar chart columns originate on the x axis and horizontal bar chart columns originate on the y axis.


Bar charts display data in either a horizontal or vertical bar format with each bar representing a specific category of data.


Depending on the glide.ui.chart. use_full_color_palette property setting,


a bar chart may use a single color to represent all categories of data or a different color for each category.


Bar charts can be placed on homepages where users can quickly interpret the information displayed.



Table Rotation can be used for tables that:


  • Hold data that is only valuable for a limited period of time
  • Are written sequentially by inserting new rows

Table Extension can be used for tables:


  • That hold data that's organized by time
  • Where data is written and then never updated, or where updates are mostly focused on recent data
  • Where data is needed for a period of time (e.g., two years) and can subsequently be discarded or archived off the system.
