Configure Display Mappings

Configure the display mappings of an attribute to indicate a range of values using icons and colors. You can visually flag specific information in the following ways to enable users to scan a list quickly:

• Select whether to place the graphic before or after the content.
• Set up an unlimited number of graphics for a list column.

Note: You can only display attributes as graphics if they are of the number data type.

Follow these steps:

1. Open Administration, and from Studio, click Objects.
2. Click the name of the object.
3. Click Attributes.
4. Click the attribute for which you want to display a graphic.
5. Complete the following steps in the Display Mapping Section:
   1. In the Type field, select Color or Icon.
   2. For each range beginning with the default bucket, select the appropriate color or icon.
   3. Enter a brief description about the color or icon in the Description field.
   4. Enter a number for the beginning of the range that the color or icon represents in the From field.
   5. Enter a number for the end of the range that the color or icon represents in the To field.
6. Repeat Step 5 to define any other ranges of numbers to color-code or represent by an icon.
7. Save your changes.

   The display mapping for the attribute is configured. You can now add the attribute to the list view and configure the display elements to display the range of values using icons and colors.
