List Formatting allows you to change how fields and views in Microsoft Lists / SharePoint lists and libraries are displayed.
List Formatting is used by creating a JSON object that details the items that will be displayed for a field or view as well as the styles that will be applied to those elements.
A SharePoint list is a structured collection of data: it functions similarly to a table, spreadsheet, or basic database. It may include a wide range of data, including numbers, text, and even graphics.
With List View Formatting, users can change the color, font, and style of text, as well as add icons, images, and links to the list. This allows users to create customized views of the list that are tailored to their specific needs and preferences.
List View Formatting can be accessed through the Column Settings menu in the SharePoint list, and can be applied to both modern and classic SharePoint lists. Microsoft provides a set of pre-built templates and samples that users can modify to meet their specific needs, or users can create their own custom formatting rules using JSON code.
List View Formatting provides a powerful way to improve the usability and visual appeal of SharePoint lists, making it easier for users to find and interact with information. It is a popular feature among SharePoint users and developers, and is widely used to create customized views of SharePoint lists.
