Overview
This article describes how you can highlight artifacts in List and Tree editors such as Artifact Tree, Artifact List, Issue List, Traceability Explorer, Collection Editor, Test Set Explorer, and more. Artifact highlighting enables you to change the background color of a row or cell, font color, font size, and more to make it stand out, draw attention to specific artifacts that meet certain criteria, etc.
Highlighting is achieved by defining styles for field values. System Administrators or users with System Administrator permissions can customize and define allowed field values using TopTeam Desktop app.
