Configuring field value styles

Field value styles control how list item values and workflow states are formatted in desktop client list windows and web client item lists. Helix ALM includes built-in styles with a variety of colors for field values and icons for test run results. You can edit any of the built-in styles or add your own styles to specify different font colors, backgrounds, formatting, and icons to help identify and differentiate important information.

To apply a style to a field value, select it when adding or editing the value list item or workflow state. See Modifying value lists and Configuring workflow states. When the value is set in an item, it is displayed using the formatting specified in the style in item lists.

Fields with styles applied are also displayed in the following locations.

• Dashboards—desktop and web clients
• Folders list—desktop and web clients
• Task board cards—desktop and web clients
• Requirement documents—desktop (Specification Document window) and web clients
• Setup List Items dialog box—desktop client
• States tab on the Configure Workflow dialog box—desktop client
• Edit Formula and Edit Mapping dialog boxes for calculated custom fields—desktop client
• Matrix reports
