Conditional Formatting introduced to the Field Viewer

You can now add conditional formatting to your tables!  You can add up to a maximum of 5 conditions that specify an operator and value, along with text and background color, to apply to the matching cells.

Each condition provides a preview, along with tags, that indicate the visual format and the value.  To enact the changes of the preview, be sure to click on apply!

1) This icon indicates that a field has conditional formatting applied to it.
2) The conditional formatting tab open with the conditions set.
3) How it is shown in the data table.

A new audit table is available for Alerts called “devo.audit.alert.definition” in all domains.  This audit table will log all user activities related with Alert definitions in reference to a domain.  The activities logged by this new table are:

  • Alert enable/disable
  • Alert deletion

Bug fixes (of course)

 

Nice !

Can’t wait !


Awesome, thank you! Looking forward to the new features!


Can you apply conditional access to an alerts output or would you have to do this real time when searching the events of interest.

Hello Cbrook.

Conditional formatting is designed to provide a visual aid to identify an event of group of events of interest when performing data analysis.

To translate that into an alert you would have to apply a regular filter clause in the alert defining linq such as where field =  value or where field in (list_of_values) as you would normally do when defining an alert.

Hope this helps :-)


For users with vaniy URL, does the usage analytics need to enabled separately?


@aashishadhh, If you need usage analytics to be enabled, please open a support case.  The special conditions that cause it to be hidden are not visible to the few customers who have it hidden.
