Set up a color indicator on Cues

Filter Groups  •  Article  •  4/29/2023  • 

You can set up color indicators for the cues that change color conditions based on the data values on the cues, which will appear on the Role Center page of the each profile. The indicator appears as a colored bar along the top border of the cue tile.

It provides a visual signal of the status of the cue's activity, which can indicate some conditions to prompt the user to take action.

For example, if a cue displays Sales Orders, you can set up the indicator to appear green (favorable) when total number of Sales Orders is below 10, and appears red (unfavorable) when the total is greater than 20.

You have to specify up to two threshold values that define three ranges of data values (low, middle, and high) to which you can apply a different color (or style).
