Conditional formatting and what left to be done?

Conditional formatting allows to automatically highlight a cell on conditions.
A good usage to present this feature is a Products table in which you want to define rules like "This field must be required", "This field must be less than 300 characters"...

Conditional formatting columns will be displayed like the column Data compliance below and cells are highlighted with colors depending on the rules defined on it:

When you edit a cell, depending on the rules a message is displayed to correct the problem:

And when you want to know what is left to be done on an item, you can click on the cell of the conditional formatting column to get the summary:

Filtering and sorting

Do it like you do it in softwares like Microsoft Excel or Google Spreadsheet:

Depending on the data type of the column you will find different options on filters:

Advanced filtering

You can select the kind of search, for example for text fields:

• Equals
• Contains
• Starts with
• Ends with
• Empty
• Not empty

Each data type has its own filtering and sorting solutions.

Sorting

Do it like you do it in softwares like Microsoft Excel or Google Spreadsheet:

Classification quick filtering

Since there may be multiple product categories with the same name, it can be difficult to filter items on the desired category and see their specific attributes. You can solve this problem by filtering on the category of the item on the grid.

As for the classification header filter, items of the selected category and sub categories are displayed in the grid.

Show/Hide columns

Use the columns menu:

Tip

When you have filtered a column you should hide it.

This can also be used to display two columns that are hidden by default:

• Created at: The creation time of the line
• Last updated: The last updated date of the line

Save and use searches

As you can see you can simply filter and hide columns. Usually you will need to go back later in the exact same configuration, this is what searches are used for:

And then when you want to use one of your search:

As you can see items are filtered and columns are hided like you saved it.

Best practice

Save your searches! You will save a lot of time.
