Fusion 360 Manage is the perfect tool to track and report on business processes. Workspace lists provide a snapshot of current active items; however, the information can feel flat as field colour is not provided by default.
Adding colour to specific fields helps to highlight key information and provides a better user experience.
Colours can be static or dynamic dependent on a value change, these do however make the field non editable. Either type is achieved using the computed field section present in a Single Line text field.
The enclosed example sets the colour and a text value. The CASE statement provides the different text and colour options.
CASE
WHEN(ENQUIRY_PERCENTAGE_COMPLETE = '20%') THEN '<div style="width:150px;background:red;color:black;border:1px solid red;border-radius:4px;text-align:center;font-size:15px;">20%</div>'
WHEN(ENQUIRY_PERCENTAGE_COMPLETE = '40%') THEN '<div style="width:150px;background:yellow;color:black;border:1px solid red;border-radius:4px;text-align:center;font-size:15px;">40%</div>'
WHEN(ENQUIRY_PERCENTAGE_COMPLETE = '60%') THEN '<div style="width:150px;background:orange;color:black;border:1px solid red;border-radius:4px;text-align:center;font-size:15px;">60%</div>'
WHEN(ENQUIRY_PERCENTAGE_COMPLETE = '80%') THEN '<div style="width:150px;background:blue;color:white;border:1px solid red;border-radius:4px;text-align:center;font-size:15px;">80%</div>'
WHEN(ENQUIRY_PERCENTAGE_COMPLETE = '100%') THEN '<div style="width:150px;background:green;color:white;border:1px solid red;border-radius:4px;text-align:center;font-size:15px;">100%</div>'
END
The field ‘ENQUIRY_PERCENTAGE_COMPLETE’ is a single line text field that is updated with the percentage value when a workflow state change happens.
switch(customTransID){
case 'NEW_ENQUIRY':
item.ENQUIRY_PERCENTAGE_COMPLETE = '20%';
break;
case 'REJECTED_2':
item.ENQUIRY_PERCENTAGE_COMPLETE = '20%';
break;
case 'SUBMIT_FOR_REVIEW':
item.ENQUIRY_PERCENTAGE_COMPLETE = '40%';
break;
}
Using the above technique to enhance a workspace visually will greatly enhance the user experience.
