UI Improvement: Style column as CSS Chip

jochen.zehe Public · Nov 30 2023

Idea Summary
Styling column values as a chip is seen everywhere to improve UX.

Philipp Hartenfeller describes how to manually achive it with custom CSS here:

It would be great if this can be done declaratively without any code.

This is a great idea! You can already achieve this in APEX today with a slightly different approach.

    Have you had a look at Template Components? For example, you can pick ‘Badge’ in an Interactive Report as a column type. The ‘State’ attribute can be used to specify a “color”. Just add a column to your query that returns the possible values "danger", "warning", "success" or “info”. To ensure accessibility, include this pertinent information in the 'Label' attribute as well. This ensures that individuals with visual impairments receive the same valuable information.
