Can you apply two color conditions at the same time on a single indicator (for the data and for the text)?
Yes, you can apply two color conditions at the same time on a single indicator: one for the numeric value (or the background) and another for the text, letting you highlight both the data and its description according to different rules.
Why is combining two conditions useful?
A single indicator may need to communicate two things at once: whether the value is good or bad (data color) and, on top of that, visually draw attention to the title itself when something is critical (text color). Using both conditions together avoids having to create separate indicators just to visually reinforce the same piece of information.
This is especially useful on dashboards with many indicators, where quick reading depends on well-defined visual contrast.
How to configure both conditions
- Open the edit view for the indicator you want.
- Set the color condition for the data (numeric value), defining the threshold and matching color.
- Separately set the color condition for the text, with its own rule.
- Save — the two conditions now act independently on the same indicator.
| Condition | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Data condition | Color of the displayed numeric value |
| Text condition | Color of the indicator's title or description |
