Name and description
Value
You can configure the following settings:
Associated Attribute: The integer or float attribute is used as an associated attribute. The value of the threshold is compared with the value in the associated attribute.
Thresholds: Threshold can be represented in two parts:
Unset: When the referenced attribute is unset, the defined icon, color, and text are displayed as the attribute values.
Set: When a threshold has an associated value:
The referenced attribute has value equal to or higher than the threshold value (but less than the next threshold value).
The referenced attribute has value lower than the threshold value.
Click Add Threshold to add a threshold.
Preset: The presets are used in setting up the thresholds and they represent the common usage of thresholds. The indicator attribute has a set of predefined items from which a user can select one item:
Custom: When you change value in a preset and switch to another preset, you can return to the preset that was modified by selecting the custom preset. If you save any preset, the preset is saved as Custom, because this is the only saved configuration.
Minimal: Minimal preset has one threshold and is a good option for financial indicators. The negative values are displayed in red, and positive values and zero are displayed in black.
Traffic Light: Traffic Light preset displays the thresholds depending on the value of an Integer or Float attribute. The thresholds are displayed in green, yellow and red. The high threshold value is displayed in red.
Rating: Rating has four thresholds. The thresholds are displayed in red (low), orange (medium), yellow (high), and green (very high). Rating preset has inverted colors compared to traffic light preset.
