Single Page record and rule based formatting

User Talk Apps

Your Setup:

  • SeaTable Cloud

Describe the Question:

Is it possible for formatting based on rules in a column to be displayed in a Single Record Page app as well?
Or would it be possible to enter such formatting when placing the column in the app?
We want to use the formatting rules to create a sort of traffic light system – and we’d like to do this in the Single Record Page as well.

This is currently not supported.

Currently, the Single Record Page in the Universal App does not support rule-based (conditional) formatting.

While you can manually set the font color and background color for each field element in the page builder, these settings are static and do not change based on the data in the record. This is different from the Table Page in the Universal App, which can display the cell coloring rules defined in the base.

For your “traffic light system” use case, we recommend the following:

  1. Use a Table Page if the visual representation of rules is critical.
  2. If you must use a Single Record Page, you could use a Formula column in the base to output an emoji (e.g., :red_circle:, :yellow_circle:, :green_circle:) based on your rules. The emoji will then be displayed in the Single Record Page.
