Live formatting system messages
Not all conditional formatting specifications are compatible with live formatting. Analyst's Notebook provides information about specifications that need modifying and why some selections do not affect the chart appearance.
Information and warnings
When you have available specifications listed in the Live Formatting Setup
and no icon is displayed, the specification is compatible with live formatting. If there is an icon
next to the specification, you can see the full message by hovering your mouse pointer over the
icon.
| Icon | Description |
|---|---|
 |
When this icon appears next to available specifications in Live Formatting Setup, it means that if you select the specification it will not run. You can find out specifically why by reading the tooltip. When this icon appears next to selected specifications, it has a different purpose and points to rules in the specification that might not alter the chart in the expected way. |
 |
If you select a specification that has an information icon and move it into the selected list, the icon changes to a warning triangle. The detailed warning tells you about changes that are not supported by live formatting and the actions you need to take if you want the specification to run. |
 |
This icon only appears in the selected specifications list. It notifies you that a selected specification has been moved or deleted from your workgroup or local folder. |
