Associated with: Tables, including CDBHistoric and CDBHistoricAll (but not Data Grid tables, the Event Journal (CDBEventJournal), or other Historic Pseudo tables); optional for Data Tables
Include the Background field in a List’s SELECT Clause if you want each record’s background color to change depending on the item’s status. Standard Queries Lists, Historic Lists, and Events Lists include the Background field by default (see The Color of Entries in a List other than the Alarms List).
If the Background field is not included in the SELECT Clause, the workstation’s Windows® settings determine the background color of the List’s entries (typically white).
(To ascertain whether Background is used in a particular Data Table, look at the Attributes of the fields in that table (see Specify the Field Properties in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Configuration.)
You can also assign Background color aliases to other fields, in order to produce Lists in Which only the Entries in Particular Columns Change Color.
