Conditional formatting is a powerful feature in PeopleGlass that enables users to dynamically highlight specific cells based on specified criteria. By using conditional formatting, you can visually highlight data trends, identify outliers, and emphasize important information. In this article, we will explore the basics of conditional formatting and provide step-by-step instructions on how to utilize this feature effectively.
Accessing Conditional Formatting
To apply conditional formatting to a column, begin by right-clicking the 'Open Details' menu and selecting 'Conditional Formatting', which becomes visible when hovering over the column cell name, like below. Each column can have its own conditional formatting rules.
The conditional formatting panel will then open on the right side, where formatting rules can be set.
Adding conditional formatting rules
Once the conditional formatting panel is open, users can create rules by making a selection from the available picklist under 'Format cells if' and the dependent field that subsequently follows.
The newly created rule(s) will be visible as soon as you click the 'Apply' button.
Users can re-order and prioritize rules that highlight important records by dragging and moving them in the desired order.
Utilizing the color scale
All picklist fields have a pre-existing color scale applied by default for fields such as stage or opportunity type. If users wish to modify the pre-existing colors, this can be easily done by creating the desired rules and moving them above the 'Color scale applied' rule. Only the preset colors are currently available at this time.
Highlighting with Date Ranges
Users can highlight fields based on the last date they were modified within PeopleGlass. Currently, the available ranges include the previous 7/14/30/90 days.
Please be aware that only edits made within PeopleGlass and not directly from within Salesforce will be highlighted.
Once the formatting has been applied, records updated within the selected date range criteria will display a clock icon and provide details when hovered over.
Things to Consider
Conditional formatting supports fields in Salesforce, which include strings, booleans, numbers, dates, and more.
Once a sheet is shared, the recipient of the shared sheet will also have the same conditional formatting rules in place available by default.
Conditional formatting is also available for People.ai's Scorecard fields.
