Interactive Report Highlight Cell Enhancement

phil.grinham Public · Aug 11 2023

Idea Summary
Provide a declarative way for a cell to be highlighted based on the value of another cell in the row.

Use Case
Currently there are a number of custom workarounds that developers use to fully highlight a cell based on the value of another column. Using the HTML formatting approach highlights the contents of the cell not the entire cell so custom scripting is often employed.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
Provide an option in the IR highlight configuration screen to specify a different column to highlight other than the one being used in the condition.

We reviewed this idea carefully, and while it was interesting, we concluded that it is unlikely to make its way into APEX in the foreseeable future.

    The interactive grid region does support this feature with the end user Highlight dialog you can choose the highlight column independent of the column used in the expression.

    You can also use the grid cellCssClassesColumn column property via the Column Initialization JavaScript Function attribute. You can add a query only column such as CELL_CLASS that contains the class you want to add to the cell and specify it like this:

    function(options) {
    options.defaultGridColumnOptions = {
        cellCssClassesColumn: "CELL_CLASS"
    }
    return options;
}
