Once data is organized,
00:10
formatting can be used to further isolate information on an
00:13
entity page and to make a page more appealing.
00:16
Let's take a look at an entity list page.
00:20
List views can be broken down into column headers, columns, and rows.
00:25
Headers represent fields.
00:27
Columns represent a list of entities related to one header
00:31
and rows represent one entity related to multiple headers.
00:36
Header colors can be changed from the default. To change a header color,
00:41
right-click over any header and select format header color.
00:45
Choose a header color from the available color list and select. OK.
00:49
The header color will now be changed.
00:52
It should be noted that the header of the fields
00:54
used for sorting a page will be highlighted in blue.
00:57
The sorting field color will override any custom header colors that are set.
01:02
Changing a header's color will only apply the color change to that unique page.
01:08
To keep changes, select page settings, save page.
01:13
Headers and columns can grow or shrink in width.
01:17
To change the width of a column and column
01:19
header, place the cursor between two column headers,
01:22
drag the line dividing two headers to the left or right.
01:27
Header height can be increased to double its default height.
01:31
To increase or decrease the height of a header,
01:33
right-click over any header and select format, double tall header.
01:38
The header will now be twice as tall.
01:40
Remember to keep changes, select page settings, save page.
01:45
By default, headers display the name of the field that they represent.
01:49
On a page, headers can be renamed.
01:52
To rename a header, right-click over the header and select format, rename header.
01:57
Type in the new name for the header and select rename column.
02:01
The header will now display with a new name. In
02:04
this
02:04
example,
02:05
the field header on a versions page went from link, shot, status to shot, status.
02:11
Renaming a header will only apply the name change to that unique page
02:15
only. Changing the header name does not rename the field. To keep changes,
02:21
select page settings, save page.
02:24
As a best practice,
02:25
you should proceed with caution when it comes to renaming
02:28
headers as this may cause confusion to other users.
02:32
It is recommended to work with your team to come to a
02:34
consensus on renaming any fields and determining if it really is necessary.
02:40
Columns in a list view can be reordered.
02:42
Simply place the mouse over the column header and
02:45
.drag the header left and right to the desired position.
02:48
To keep changes, don't forget to save.
02:52
Wrap text allows all information in a cell to be displayed,
02:56
even if that information goes past a cell's boundary.
02:60
In this example, there is more content in the cell than can be displayed.
03:04
The text is cut short. To see all the data contained within a cell,
03:08
you can wrap text. To wrap text, right-click any header and select wrap text.
03:14
All the text contained within the cells in that column will now be displayed.
03:19
To keep changes, don't forget to save.
03:22
The background color of the cells in any column, and the text color
03:25
of data in any cell in any column, can both be customized.
03:29
This is helpful to bring a user's attention and focus to priority fields.
03:33
To change the background and text color of all cells within a column,
03:37
right-click over the field header and select format cell color.
03:41
From this menu,
03:42
you can format text color, format
03:45
text emphasis with bold italics and strike through, format cell color,
03:51
and see a preview of selections in dark and light themes.
03:55
Select save to apply the changes.
03:58
Self formatting will only apply to a single column and only to that unique page.
04:03
Formatting on fields can only be done in list view,
04:06
however, the changes will also apply to thumbnail views. Here,
04:10
we can see the same page in thumbnail view.
04:13
Since rows on a detail page are all records of a single entity type,
04:18
the option to change row color is all or nothing.
04:21
Row formatting will apply to all rows but only to that unique page.
04:26
To change row color, right-click any sell and select format all rows,
04:30
row color. From this menu, you can
04:33
format text, color,
04:34
format text emphasis with bold italics and strike through,
04:38
format cell color, and see a preview of selections in dark and light themes.
04:43
Select save to apply the changes.
04:46
In this example,
04:47
notice that the column formatting set on this page overrides the row formatting.
04:53
Formatting on rows can only be done in list view,
04:56
however, it will also apply to thumbnail view.
