This panel lets you specify presentation attributes (color and highlighting) for specific records based on a condition (a boolean expression) that you specify. This means that you can highlight particular records of interest in a list to make them easier to identify.

For example, consider a list of problem records. You can specify a condition to identify all problem records that have the status of OPEN and set the display attributes to show those records in, for example, red, flashing text. You need to enter a code representing the presentation attributes and a matching boolean expression for the record that you want highlighted. Enter up to 15 presentation attribute / boolean test pairs to highlight the specified entries within the list.

In the example shown, records with a priority of 1 are shown in high intensity red, with priority 2 are shown in high intensity pink, with priority 3 in high intensity white, with priority 4 or 5 in high intensity turquoise, and those with a priority of 6 or 7 in high intensity blue.

Note: If you specified that the format for the list be drawn from an existing list definition, you cannot define entry line presentation attributes.

A text editor is included that contains commands that you can use.
