Setting up advanced formatting for a grid view of a custom report
You can set up advanced formatting for the grid view of the custom report that you create or modify. The Advanced Formatting tab lets you set up a formatting template that applies HTML tagging to appropriate cells or rows in the report results. For example, in a computer disk space report you might want to highlight all the computers that have less than a specified minimum free space remaining. You can create a template that formats the relevant rows with a bright yellow background and uses bold text in the Free Space cell.
The process for setting up advanced formatting includes creating formatting rules for the appropriate result columns. For each formatting rule you need to specify the HTML tagging that the rule applies to the results. If the formatting rule is conditional on some data values, you need to specify the appropriate conditions. For example, in a computer disk space report, you may want to apply the formatting rule only to computers that have less than a specified minimum free space remaining. The rule would be conditional on the Free Space value being less than a specified amount.
