Custom Column Header Styling

Custom Column Header Styling

STAGIL Tables supports inline HTML in column header names. You can use this to apply custom colors, bold text, background highlighting, badges, and other visual styles to your table headers.

This feature works by entering HTML directly into the Column name field in the column configuration dialog. No additional setup is required.

Before you begin

  • You need admin access to the STAGIL Table field configuration.

  • Only inline styles on <span> elements are supported. External CSS or class names will not work.

  • The styled header is visible to all users who can see the table. No per-user rendering differences.

Style a column header

  1. Go to the configuration of your STAGIL Table field.

  2. Select the column you want to customise.

  3. In the Column name field, replace the plain text with an HTML <span> tag that includes your desired styles.

  4. Save the configuration.

Basic pattern:

<span style="property: value;">Your Column Name</span>

Example:

<span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">Role</span>

Styling examples:

Copy and paste any of the following values into the Column name field.

Bold coloured text

Makes the header stand out with a bold colour.

<span style="color: #D32F2F; font-weight: bold;">Assignee</span>

Badge

Wraps the header text in a coloured label. Useful for status-type columns or to call out key fields.

<span style="background-color: #0052CC; color: white; font-weight: bold; padding: 4px 10px; border-radius: 4px;">Status</span>

Background highlight

Adds a soft background colour behind the header text. Useful for drawing attention without being too bold.

<span style="background-color: #FFF3E0; color: #E65100; font-weight: bold; padding: 3px 8px;">Due Date</span>

Underline accent

A clean, minimal style with a coloured bottom border. Works well for understated emphasis.

<span style="color: #1565C0; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 2px solid #1565C0;">Cost (€)</span>

Bold, Italic, Uppercase with Letter Spacing

This style emphasises the header using multiple text effects. It works well for columns that need strong visual attention without using background colours or badges.

<span style="color: #D32F2F; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 1px;">Approved</span>
