Highlight row color based on field values in Sharepoint 2010 list view

Question

Can anyone give idea how we can change the row color based on the corresponding field values in Sharepoint 2010 list view?

Answer 1

The simplest way to do it is :

1. Go to SharePoint Designer 2010

2. Go to your list, open the list view you want to modify

3. in ribbon, select Options [Tab] - Conditional Formatting - Format Row option.

It should be fairly straightforward.

Answer 2

The most common way to do that is by using conditional formatting with SharePoint Designer. but it has its disadvantages - it messes up grouped views and more other things. Besides SharePoint designer I can recommend on custom development or 3rd party product like we have here in Infowise – Color Field. You should give it a look -http://www.infowisesolutions.com/product.aspx?id=ColorField

Answer 3

My colleague has written up a post detailing the different ways to do this - How to do list highlighting in SharePoint

It includes

• SharePoint Designer
• Javasript & Content Editor Web Parts
• Custom Columns via Visual Studio
• and of course 3rd party products (disclaimer, one of which is from my company)

Answer 4

There are third party add-ons(sharepoint highlight rows) that allows you highlight SharePoint list rows based on field values.
