How to apply conditional formatting

This guide shows you how to color-code rows in an AlloyScan data grid based on field values, so records that need attention stand out at a glance. For example, you can use conditional formatting in an Inventory grid to highlight devices that meet specified conditions.

Prerequisites

  • You have access to a grid that supports conditional formatting. Inventory grids support the feature, but the available grid functions can differ elsewhere in AlloyScan. For example, conditional formatting is not available on the Segment Open view's Scan Results grid.
  • You are signed in as a User or Administrator.

Steps

  1. Open the grid you want to format. For example, navigate to Inventory > <device type>.
  2. Click the gear icon (⚙️) in the grid toolbar to open the Customize View side panel.
  3. Open the Conditional formatting tab.
  4. Define a formatting rule by choosing a field, a condition, and the visual treatment to apply when the condition matches.
  5. Add additional rules as needed.
  6. Click Apply at the bottom of the panel to preview the formatting on the grid.
  7. Click Save or Save As to persist the rules with the grid view.

Verify

After applying the rules you should see:

  • Matching rows render with the visual treatment you configured.
  • The formatting persists as part of the saved view, so anyone using that saved view sees the same color-coding.

Tips

  • Combine conditional formatting with a saved filter to reduce the grid to just the rows that need attention while still highlighting variations among them.
  • Conditional formatting is part of the saved view, not of the underlying records. Clearing the view clears the formatting display but does not change the data.
