condition formatting on list view based on USER identity

Question

Hi,

I am trying to achieve this:

Format text of column depending on user identity.. In custom list there is one column named BOSS of type USER/GROUP. I would like to change font to red of some field (or something else) on items where actual user [me] is contained in BOSS field.

Is it possible ??

HOW ? J

Hi Ex12456,

Please try the following step to set conditional formatting when BOSS field contains current user.

1. Insert Data View Web Part (DVWP) by clicking Insert > Data View > Empty Data View > Select the source list > Select some fields to display on the DVWP and insert them as multiple items.
2. Add a parameter to DVWP by clicking Parameters > New Parameter named it Param1 > Select Server Variable as Parameter Source and Type LOGON_USER ad Server Variable Name > OK.
3. Create conditional formatting by selecting the HTML select when you want to apply the formatting > Click Create button under Conditional Formatting pane > Apply Formatting > Click Advanced button in Conditional Criteria window > type following XPath expression > click OK.
   contains(@BOSS.id,substring-after($Param1,'\'))
   
4. Save the page and DONE.

Let me know if you have any further question.

Thanks & Regards,
Emir
