Use your list's internal column names and replace any tenant-specific URLs or flow IDs. Formatting is presentation, not a way to secure data.

How to use this sample

Summary

This example uses the rowFormatter element, which totally overrides the rendering of a list view row. The rowFormatter in this example creates a bounding <div /> box for every list view row. Inside this bounding box, the $Title and $Feedback fields are displayed on separate lines. Under those fields, a button element is displayed that, when clicked, does the same thing as clicking the list row in an uncustomized view, which is opening the property form for the item. This button is displayed conditionally, when the value of the $Assigned_x0020_To field (assumed to be a person/group field) matches the current signed-in user.
