Arcade Code IIF Statement for List Item showing Status Change

[deleted-user-sNUdtFrn2yEY]

Hello, this is my first attempt at trying to use Arcade in Operations Dashboard.

I want to change the List Item background color based on the Survey status. I'm having difficulty trying to get this Arcade code to work. See code sample and screen shots.

Code sample:

// Status of Survey entry
var color = IIF($datapoint.status == open, '#FFBEBE', '');
var color = IIF(datapoint.status == closed, '#D3FFBE','');
var color = IIF(datapoint.status == inprocess, '#BEE8FF','');
return {
textColor: '',
backgroundColor: 'color',
separatorColor:'',
selectionColor: '',
selectionTextColor: '',
// attributes: {
// attribute1: '',
// attribute2: ''
// }
}

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide me with. I'd like to try and change the Background color for Status - (open, closed and inprocess).

Best regards,

Hi Colleen Madigan Schelde ,

On lines 2, 3 and 4 of the original code. when you want to validate if the status is open, closed or in process, you will have to enclose those values in quotes. The other change required is that you will want to not use quotes when you access the values assigned to the color variable (see line 13). In the example below I have changed the first part of the code to make it a little bit more readable.

// Status of Survey entry
var color = '';
if ($datapoint.status == 'open') {
    color = '#FFBEBE';
} else if ($datapoint.status == 'closed') {
    color = '#D3FFBE';
} else if ($datapoint.status == 'inprocess') {
    color = '#BEE8FF';
}

return {
    textColor: '',
    backgroundColor: color,
    separatorColor:'',
    selectionColor: '',
    selectionTextColor: '',
    // attributes: {
    // attribute1: '',
    // attribute2: ''
    // }
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
