I am not a designer but was asked to do some work on a database for our Executive team. I’ve got most of it working but they want to view the data in different colors/fonts based on a a value in a field.
So, if it’s a Region 1 document, one color or font, if it’s a Region 2 document, a different color or font.
I have no idea how to get this done. I would really, really appreciate any insight.
Subject: Change fonts and colors in view
As you explained, this is a designer specific task. If the view is rendered in the web browser, you can add a form to present the view and add Javascript in the onLoad event to interrogate the rows and columns of the view and change the cells color and font accordingly. To get a handle on the cells, you can grab them by the DIV name that holds the view’s information.
Subject: In a view?
Are you talking about in a view or when the document’s open?
For a view, look in the help under row custom color formulas
For a document I think you need to compute a background image (either on a table cell or for the whole form)
Subject: Yes in a standard calendar view
The color of the entry would change based on a field.
Subject: You could add a column to the calendar view
In order to do this you could add a column in the calendar view which could change the color displayed depending on the value of a field. I don’t believe you have any control over the fonts though. Here’s a help document around doing this http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/domhelp/v8r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.designer.domino.main.doc/H_EXAMPLES_ABOUT_ADDING_PROGRAMMING_TO_COLUMNS.html
