When you set up live formatting, you specify which conditional formatting specifications
Analyst's Notebook uses when live formatting is started, the order they run
in, and what other formatting to override.
About this task
You must have access to suitable conditional formatting specifications before you can set up
live formatting. You can create and edit specifications for your own use or to share with your
workgroup. For more information, see Creating and editing conditional
formatting specifications. Live formatting applies style rules that are created as
conditional formatting specifications, to items that meet the criteria you specify.
Procedure
-
Click to open the Live Formatting Set Up window.
- Select one or more specifications from the Available specifications
list and move them to the Selected specifications list by clicking the right
arrow icon. If you see an information or warning icon next to a specification, hover your mouse
pointer over the icon to display the message. For more information about these icons, see Live formatting system messages.
- Use the Up and Down commands to change the
order that the specifications run. The order of specifications is significant as they run
sequentially from the top of the list. Rules set further down the list might affect the
specifications that you selected to run first.
- Optional: You can override existing style changes and reset the items already
on the chart to their default style. Click the Reset all chart items to their default
appearance before running specifications check box.
Chart items are
reset to the appearance defined by your schema.
Note: If you use the Stop and Reset
Formatting command, your chart items are reset to the appearance defined by your schema
and not to any style changes that you applied previously.
