SharePoint Data View Conditional Formatting using SharePoint Designer
A tutorial for creating Data Views for a list in SharePoint that are formatted based on each item ‘s meta data. This can be used to create views that visually represent task priority or due dates by setting font or table row background colors. SharePoint Designer conditional formatting is used to format items and backgrounds colors based on the length of time until due or the priority.
When the due date is overdue, the task is displayed in red, or can have a red background for the row. When the due date is 1 day from the current date, the item is orange, and so on.
The same concept can be applied using the value selected in the Priority field of each task in the task list to format the background or text of each item.
When the conditional formatting is combined with sort criteria using the same Priority or Due Date field, the result is a view of the task list which easy to read and understand, and can also improve the overall aesthetics if the color scheme is selected appropriately.
