Flashing Rows

Summary

  • Rows as well as Cells can be made to Flash due to a data change
  • This is often used with data that changes infrequently

Most use cases of Flashing involve Cells which change colour briefly when their contents change.

However whole Rows can be made to Flash in response to data changes.

Note

This is done by setting the target of the Flashing Cell Definition to row

A common use case is when data changes infrequently and users want to see what has changed.

Hint

In this scenario you can set the Duration to always so that the changed Row remains coloured until manually cleared
