Ability to configure display colours for multiple property types

Mark Tarry

Currently we have support for color-coded enum values, on

string

properties.

Extending the data model support for color-coded values on other property types would enable us to visually highlight where a value warrants attention.

Examples:

Date values which fall within a specific range - e.g. where an end-of-life deadline is in the next ~12 months
Numeric values which have crossed a threshold - e.g. cloud costs vs budget
URL (string, but not enumerated) values which link to a particular host - e.g. when transitioning away from an old ticketing/documentation platform

Similar to https://roadmap.port.io/ideas/p/ability-to-configure-display-colours-for-boolean-properties, but I'm proposing expanding this for multiple property data types.

Hi Hila Kashai,

I was aware of the number widget color options - although we haven't used it in our own portal as yet.

This option is great when there is a single (numeric) stat on display, but I'm specifically thinking of a table of entities - where one or more properties (columns) could be color-coded to highlight specific items needing attention.

So yes, the table widgets are what I originally had in mind, specifically both:

Catalogue page
Dashboards with table widgets

I've attached a screenshot (from Port) of a table widget where I've got a

Date

and

Boolean

property, the values of which I'd like to highlight with RAG (or any other scheme) indicators.

However, now you raise the question, it would seem intuitive (to me) for other widgets to follow the same color-coding rules. For example:

a Pie chart using segment colors as defined in the blueprint property.
a Line chart which used gradient colours (presumably on the Y axis) for the numeric values (example attached)

Hey Mark Tarry!
Would you expect to view this on a table level, or across all other widgets as well? For example, such as on the info widget? 
Also curious to know if you have used this feature yet: https://roadmap.port.io/ideas/p/add-color-customization-option-for-number-charts-in-dashboards
