Hello, I am a manufacturing/aerospace consultant and I’m experimenting with CODA for product manufacturing traceability. In my example, we have some painted parts that get placed into an oven at a specified temperature and time to quickly cure the paint. I’ve created a table to track each job/lot number, so I have two field columns Curing Temperature (degrees F) Curing Duration (min)
Both of these are number fields.
I would like the default background color of these two fields to be a bright yellow (#FFF933) if they do not contain a value. This way, the highlighted yellow fields indicate to our production operator that this field has not been filled out. Once the a value is recorded into the field and <> Null, then the background color should go to pale green (#EAF9C1).
Sure! If you want to use Codas generally available colors (in the conditional formatting pane) then you can do that in just a few clicks!
If you want to support custom hex colors as a conditional formatting background color, it gets a bit more complex and involves the use of a hidden formula.
Are you fine with Codas generally available conditional formatting colors?
Im also currently filming a long-form video that covers everything about conditional formatting including how to format with the custom hex codes! You can find it here when published!
Actually, I was hoping to change the background color of the card layout field. I have a Kanban card view of the Invoices. In the screenshot below, since the Customer field is empty, I want the field background to be yellow (indicating that this field should have a value). Once the field is not empty, I want the background color of the field to be pale green.
