Overview
Adding a Rule for a Widget allows dynamically changing Widget’s appearance based on a defined condition (conditional formatting is applied).
A Rule consists of a Point value-based Condition and Action(s) to be applied to a Widget if a Condition is met. Multiple Actions can be defined for a single Condition.
Available Conditions
Conditions for a Rule
-
Equal To - apply Action(s) to a Widget if actual Value is equal to the specified Value
-
Greater Than or Equal To - apply Action(s) to a Widget if actual Value is greater than or equal to the specified Value
-
Less Than or Equal To - apply Action(s) to a Widget if actual Value is less than or equal to the specified Value
-
Not Equal To - apply Action(s) to a Widget if actual Value is not equal to the specified Value
Available Actions
- Set Border Color of a Widget
- Set Border Width of a Widget
- Display or Hide a Widget
- Set Font Color of a Widget
How to configure a Rule
-
Add a Widget on the Canvas that supports Rules (e.g. Text String, Value, Shapes)
-
Specify a Data Source for a Widget (see article: Graphics Builder - Adding a Data Source for a Widget). NOTE: if you’re referencing another widget’s data, must add ‘Retrieve Attribute Value’ Transformer to get the Value a Rule will be based on (please find more info on ‘Retrieve Attribute Value’ Transformer at article: Graphics Builder - Adding a Data Source for a Widget
-
Select the Widget, go to the Properties tab and click on ‘Add Rule’
-
- Configure a Rule, click on ‘Save’. NOTE: A Widget must support the Action applied: e.g. can’t change the font color for a Shape widget, can’t change border width/color for Text/Value widget.
