Row Highlight Configurator: Setup and Usage Guide

The Row Highlight Configurator lets administrators and end-users create field-based conditional highlighting rules on Salesforce list views, with no custom code. Records are visually distinguished by field criteria, which improves data visibility and speeds up record identification.

Phase 1: Install the Configurator in the Utility Bar

Add the configurator to the Utility Bar so users can open it and manage rules.

1. Open Lightning App Builder and select the app you want to modify.
2. Select Utility Items in the sidebar and click Add Utility Item.
3. Search for and select Row Highlight Configurator from the component list.
4. Set the component properties: Label (Row Highlight Configurator), Icon, and Panel Dimensions (480x480 recommended).
5. Save to apply the configurator to the app.

Phase 2: Define and Apply Highlighting Rules

Once deployed, administrators and users can create conditional highlighting rules for list views.

1. Open the configurator from the Utility Bar. It automatically detects the visible list view columns and data.
2. Click Add Rule to start a new rule.
3. Define the condition: choose a Field (e.g., Region, Lead Source), an Operator (equals, contains, greater than) and a Value.
4. Add more conditions for compound rules. Multiple conditions are combined with AND logic.
5. Pick a highlight color from the palette (Yellow, Orange, Red, Purple, Blue, Light Blue, Green, Grey).
6. Click Apply to render the rule immediately on the active list view.
