Conditional formatting

You can use conditional formatting to change the appearance of items on the chart to emphasize information of interest to your investigation. You can change the appearance of both entities and links based on rules that you define.

You can use conditional formatting to emphasize significant information, and downplay or hide information of lower interest. Conditional formatting is useful for both analytical and presentation purposes.

Specifications and rules

When you create a conditional formatting specification, you must add at least one rule. Each rule changes one style based on conditions that you specify. The following styles can be changed:

  • To a specific style setting.
  • To styles stored in a selected attribute or property by setting the style to the value of the attribute or property.
  • To styles from a color spectrum that is based on a selected attribute or property.
  • To styles from a gradual scale that is based on a selected attribute or property.
  • To styles from a threshold or range that is based on a selected attribute or property.
  • To styles from a lookup table that is based on a selected attribute or property.
