The Style Manager is a premium feature that allows plugin users to interactively style data tables. The Style Manager can be reached from the icon on the Data Tables main page or from the Data Tables configuration form and does not require any technical skills.

The Style Manager simulates a front-end page showing a data table (1) and immeditately syncs your style changes to the selected data table. It starts with the default premium settings. Pre-defined color schemas can be used as a jumpstart to create your own color schemas. Click the manage color schema button (2) to fine tune your color settings and use the sliders to adjust other style settings. A mouse click on a color field open a color palette (3).

Custom styles #

A custom style can be selected from a drop-down list in the Data Tables styling section. The style will be applied to the data table when it is shown on the front-end. Please note that custom styling is currently not supported on dashboards.

Color schemas #

Custom color schemas can be saved and used in Data Tables with or without a custom style. Color schemas are added to the color drop-down list and can be used just like standard color schemas. Using color schemas is explained in a separate tutorial.

Inline demo #

The following data table demonstrates a custom style based on our website color palette created using the Style Manager and combined with the Search Builder and Export Buttons. The Search Builder and Export Buttons were added using the Extension Manager.

Notes #

• Do not use global styling in combination with the Style Manager
• This feature can be used to style data tables only, projects require different styling
