Overview

Coming soon...Formatting rules are used to determine when a style should be applied to an object. For example, highlighting a form field with a missing entry or changing an icon based on the selected company's industry sector.

For information about all the available options see Formatting Rule

All Formatting Rules perform a logic check that if it returns True the shared style will be applied.

Example: Cell

In this example we will set the colour of a cell in a grid where the value is null as illustrated below:

1. Select the column header and its properties open.
2. In the Formatting Rule section click 

   Insert excerpt
   _add _add nopanel true

   .
3. In the Rule Expression, set the criteria that if it returns true, the selected style will apply. In our example we want a style to be applied when the Web field is empty. To achieve this we enter:

   1. _current.Web == _NULL
