Highlighted Tables | Tabular Data with Emphasis on Metrics#

Highlighted Tables offer a powerful way to analyze row-level data while drawing attention to significant values through gradient shading and conditional formatting. Whether you're monitoring revenue by region, SLA compliance by team, or customer ratings by product, Highlighted Tables deliver structure with emphasis—making patterns easier to detect.

The Edilitics Visualization module supports Highlighted Tables through a point-and-click interface, with built-in formatting rules, responsive styling, and governed dataset enforcement. You can highlight high/low values automatically, apply color gradients, and sort or filter without writing any code.

When to Use a Highlighted Table#

Chart Configuration in Edilitics#

Inputs Required#

• 1 or More Category Fields (Rows)

  Used for the tabular structure—e.g., Region, Product, Team, Month.

• 1 or More Numeric Fields (Columns)

  Metrics you want to display and highlight—e.g., Revenue, Avg Delivery Time, CSAT.

📌 At least one numeric field is required to enable highlighting.

How to Configure a Highlighted Table#

• Select "Highlighted Table" from the Chart Library

• Choose your category and numeric fields

• Apply highlighting logic

  Define gradient ranges or threshold rules (e.g., color cells > 80 as green, < 40 as red)

• Format headers and cells

  Set font size, alignment, border style, and display units (e.g., K, %, ₹)

• Enable sorting and filtering

  Let users interactively explore trends by toggling filters or clicking on headers

• Embed in dashboards

  Use in summary views where spotting performance outliers is key

Feature Highlights#

Gradient Highlighting Engine#

• Automatically applies color gradients to numerical cells

• Supports custom start/end colors, number of steps, and value bounds

• Each numeric column can have its own gradient configuration

Data-Aware Formatting#

• Auto-detection of field types (categorical vs numerical)

• Configurable decimal precision, prefixes/suffixes, and unit display

• Alignment, font weight, and casing options per column

Sort, Filter, and Scan#

• Sort by any column—alphabetically or by value

• Pre-filters and post-filters help reduce clutter

• Clear grid layout makes large data easy to scan

Responsive Rendering#

• Automatically adapts to container size

• Only first 1,000 rows are rendered for performance, with scroll for more

Best Practices for Highlighted Tables#

How Edilitics Is Different#

Most tools offer static tables or require manual configuration for conditional formatting. Edilitics offers:

• Auto-pivoting based on governed schemas

• Gradient logic defined per numeric column, automatically applied

• Support for large datasets (up to 1,000 rows rendered dynamically)

• Consistent logic and styling across all views and users

This allows teams to move from raw exports to governed, dynamic tables that not only inform—but emphasize.

Highlighted Tables in Edilitics combine clarity and emphasis for structured data exploration. With built-in formatting logic, automatic styling, and governed inputs, these tables are ideal for drawing attention to what matters most—at a glance or in-depth.
