How to: Set Up a Colored Indicator on Cues
You can set up Cues that appear on the Home page to include an indicator that changes color based on the data values in the Cues.
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 favorable or unfavorable conditions to prompt the user to take action. For example, if a Cue displays ongoing sales invoices, you can set up the indicator to appear green (favorable) when total number of ongoing sales invoices is below 10, and appears red (unfavorable) when the total is greater than 20.
From the Cue Setup window, you set up indicators for all the Cues that are available in the company database.
To set up the indicator, you 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).
