SharePoint 2013 List Column Status Wise Change Row Color Using jQuery

Introduction

This article provides a Requester monitoring list that is easy enough to do in SharePoint. The 3 statuses are an easy visual way of seeing what status each of the requesters was on. The statuses used in this list are:

  1. Approved
  2. Rejected
  3. Pending

These values are populated from a Choice field in the list, but as you can see from the before image below it is not that easy to quickly and easily see what level each of the Requesters are on.
