Look through the data and identify data that is part of the target. Add this value to it, which in turn turns this red. (See video.)

Use a custom method in a Helper Class called 'fancyDate', where the default sequel date is converted to a more appropriate date, 2nd of April etc. [00:02:39](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfl0l3AoLKU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h02m39s) However, the problem is that if this is done and the component is compiled and items added , it escapes those values and prints it around the value.

The value here is to create 'date', as well as the 'job status'.

### Field Adding Escape=False To Code to Prevent Escape

In the back end of the component, 'Job order', the area called 'Fields' can be opened. Scroll down to 'Job status'.

So you would simply add this line: 'escape= "false"' [00:04:37](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfl0l3AoLKU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h04m37s) In the structure of the component where that field is loaded, Component Builder as it compiles, will command the escape method not to escape it, and consequently the HTML will be displayed instead of it being printed out.
