Configuring States for a Multistate Indicator
Use the States tab to:
•
edit text for each state
•
enter a value for each state (if required)
•
edit format options for each state
•
insert a graphic for a state
•
add or delete states as required
To configure states for a multistate indicator:
1. Click the States tab on the Multistate Indicator dialog.
A spreadsheet opens. Each row indicates an indicator state. The
default is 4 states (row 0 to row 3) and an error state (row E).
The fields in each row define visual characteristics for each state.
2. Edit the states as necessary.
3. Click OK to exit the Multistate Indicator dialog.
Error State
The Value field appears only if
Value was selected under
Read on the Properties tab.
Editing Number of States
A multistate indicator supports a maximum of 2,000 states (0 to
1,999). Use only the number of states required.
To add states to a multistate indicator:
1. Choose Append State from the popup menu.
A new state is added after the last state but before the error state.
2. Repeat step 1 for each state you want to add.
Each state you add is created with values from the last state. New
states are added without default text in the Text field.
To delete states, select the row number and choose Delete State from
the popup menu.
