Visual Indicators are small icons or images that are displayed to represent the values of properties of your objects, rather like you can with Shape Regions in CW Modeler.
It means you could use a series of colored discs to represent Categories of an object, or tick and cross icons to show whether a value is true or false.
They can be used with the Visual Identity layout, and with Custom Display Strings.
In order to use Visual Indicators though, you must deploy your site as a Custom Site, as the images you want to use as your indicators must be stored on the Evolve server and deployed with your Site when you publish it.

Visual Indicators can only work with lookup (drop-down) and boolean (true or false) properties of your objects. |

Configure your Custom Site to support the use of Visual Indicators
To use Visual Indicators on your Site, you must place image files in the correct location in a Custom Site folder, and make sure they have the correct file names.
Folders
For each Object Type you want to use a Visual Indicator with, create a directory with the name as the Scriptname of the Object Type in your Custom Site 'images' folder.
For example
<your-custom-site-folder>/images/image_mappings/application
<your-custom-site-folder>/images/image_mappings/process
Inside each Object Type folder, you must create additional folders for each Property Type you want to use as an indicator, again named according to the Scriptname of the Property Type
For example
<your-custom-site-folder>/images/image_mappings/application/validated
<your-custom-site-folder>/images/image_mappings/application/type
Files
In each Property Type folder, you should place image files for each of the possible values that can be set.
Files should be named as follows:
Use 'true' or 'false' for boolean Property Types
Use the Abbreviation for lookup (drop-down) Property Types.
|
If you want to show an indicator for the 'Undefined' value for a lookup, create an image named 'undefined'. |

Evolve supports PNG, JPEG and GIF for the images, but as images look best when they use a transparent background, we recommend using PNG files.
In the Site the images are re-sized to be displayed at 16x16 pixels, so we recommend creating square images that will not be skewed when re-sized. For optimization reasons, we recommend creating images that are already 16x16 pixels.
