Change View Category Column Color Based on Document Field

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have searched the forums and tried a number of possibilities found here. I’ve also researched help, the “Notes Bible”, and the “Domino Designer 6 Developers’ Handbook” Redbook without success.

Here is what I have:

A categorized view.

Here is what I’d like to do:

Based on the contents of the document field I’m using to categorize the view (fldIntAssignment) I want the actual category view column text to be either RED or BLUE.

So far, everything I’ve tried with hidden columns before and after the category column has not worked. I mean, colors change, but only on the document row(s) and not on the category row(s).

Can it be done? If so, will someone please point me in the right direction?

I’d be even happier if I could add a view icon to the beginning or the end of the category text. I just can’t figure out how to do this.

Thanks in advance!

I don’t think you’ll be able to do this. Category rows are displayed outside the context of a particular document. Since there is no “current document” associated with the row, you can’t refer to the fields of that document.

“Categorized is flat” option might do something useful, but you might not be happy with the way it looks otherwise.

Thanks for the reply, Andre.

After all the research, I thought that would be the answer.

Category View columns DO change color when categorized as flat, but you are correct - it doesn’t look pretty.
