Configuration

Open Admin > MTS Highlight Field and select the module you want to configure. Each field in that module is shown as a card.

Placeholders below — replace with your own screenshots before publishing.

1. Enable a field and choose a configuration type

Toggle a field on to open its configuration panel, then choose a type:

  • Static color — always apply one background/text (and optional border) colour.
  • Value-based (per option) — for dropdown fields, pick a colour per option value.
  • Conditional — apply a colour only when conditions on other fields are met.

A single field can hold several configurations — click + Add configuration to add more (for example a static base colour plus one or more conditional rules).

2. Build a conditional rule

Inside a Conditional configuration:

  1. Set the Background, Text, optional Border and Related colours, and (optionally) tick Color the label.
  2. Choose Apply on: Edit/Create, Detail, List (any combination).
  3. Set Apply when to AND (all must match) or OR (any matches), then add one or more conditions: [ field ] [ operator ] [ value ] — e.g. Do Not Call is checked.
  4. Set a Priority (higher wins when several rules match) and the Active toggle.
  5. Click Save — a spinner shows while changes are applied, then a success toast appears.

Operators available: equals, not equals, is checked, is not checked, is empty, is not empty, contains, greater than, less than, is one of (comma-separated).

3. Value-based (dropdown) configuration

For a dropdown field, choose Value-based and set a colour for each option.

Open a record List or Detail view (and Edit/Create if enabled for the rule) to see the highlighting applied automatically.

Priority & fallback: when multiple conditional rules match, the highest Priority wins. If no conditional rule matches, the field falls back to its static or value-based colour (if configured).

Licensing: highlighting only applies while the licence is active. If the licence is invalid, the configuration screens and highlighting are disabled until it is re-validated.

Notes: If you prefer a walkthrough, follow the demo video on the About page.
