What Are Screen Views?

Screen Views are your personally customized column settings for any table screen in SellerLegend
A Screen View defines which columns of a table screen are visible, and the order of the columns on the screen
Creating new Screen Views is totally optional
However, the use of Screen Views is recommended on crowded screens for easier data management and to minimize the need for the horizontal scroll on screens
You can define as many different Screen Views as desired for any table screen
Screen views are managed through a feature called the Views Manager
The Views Manager is accessed by a downward arrow button to the right of any table screen’s name, called the Views Selector button

The Views Selector Button

On Table Screens (but not on Dashboards) there is a red button to the right of the Screen Title
This red button is called the Views Selector button
If you have not yet created any new views, the Views Selector button name will be shown as “Default View”

If you have created new views, however, the Views Selector button will show the name of the currently selected view

When clicking on the Views Selector button, the Views Manager screen appears (see below)
The left pane of the Views Manager contains the list of defined views for the current screen
- Clicking on the view name will show the set-up of that particular view on the right pane
- You can then edit the view in the right pane by removing/adding columns in the view, reorganizing the order of the columns and assigning custom colors to the columns
The right pane of the Views Manager contains the names of all the columns available for the current screen
- The check mark to the left of the column name determines whether the column is shown (checked) or hidden (unchecked)
- The Colour Eye Dropper to the right of the column name allows the setting/resetting of the column colour highlight
- The Hamburger Menu icon allows the reordering of the respective column by drag-and-dropping the column name up or down the list

How Do I Conditionally Format a Table Cell Based On Its Own Value or Another Cell’s Value?

You can format any cell to appear a certain way based on either its own value or another cell’s value.
This can be done on any screen with a table.
To start with, please open up the View Manager and look for the column you want to format.
- Click on the dropdown icon (to the left of the eyedropper icon) against the column
Next, click on the box that says “Please Select” and choose the column that you want to be the basis for this column’s format. The “Please Select” text is replaced by the name of the column if one has been selected already. As an example, we are formatting the SKU column on the basis of the Profit column.
Once you’ve selected a column, click on the box in the center to select a conditional operator. The number of operators you can choose will vary depending on the type of the column. Operators like greater than, between, etc. will be available for numeric and percent type columns. For columns like ASIN or SKU, products will appear automatically once you start typing in the the box. The third box may also disappear if a column like ASIN is selected.
Click on the third box (if available) to add in the numeric/percent value that the operator will compare the value of the cell with.
In our example, we are formatting SKU based on the Profit column. All SKU cells where the Profit is Less Than 2 will be formatted.
To set the color of the entire cell, click on the eyedropper icon to select the color.
To set the color of the text only, click on the “A” text icon next to the eyedropper and select a color.
If you have multiple format conditions, the one on top will have the most priority.
- To change priorities, click and press on the orange Hamburger icon to drag and drop the format rule above or below another.
To add another condition, click on the green “+” icon. Rest of the process remains the same.
If you want this conditional formatting to apply to ALL other views as well, check the Propagate Rules option.
To delete the condition from just the current view, check the Delete Rules option. (this will only delete from the current view).
To delete the condition from ALL views, check both Propagate Rules and Delete Rules options.
Once done, save the changes so they can take effect.
