Conditional formatting in Text Mode

Text mode enables you to create more complex views, filters, groupings, and prompts by allowing you to use fields that are not available in the standard interface.

For a complete list of all our reportable fields, see the API Explorer.

For more information about using text mode syntax, see Text mode syntax overview.

You can also use text mode to format views in reports and lists. Using conditional formatting, you can change the views of your reports by changing the font type and background of the results in the report, as well as icons and flags. We recommend that you always build your views using the standard interface first and switch to the text mode interface only when absolutely necessary.

NOTE
Using CSS styling to customize conditional formatting is not supported. Instead, you must use the predesigned formatting options that are available in Adobe Workfront.
