Editing a State Model Component

After you have added a state model component using the wizard, use the editor as needed to configure settings for each state in the component. You can also configure component level settings. In the editor (but not the wizard) you can specify the following:

1. Click on the canvas of the state model component. In the General tab do the following:
   1. In the Display Name field, enter the state model component’s display name. This name appears in Dashboard.
   2. Select a display size for the states. All states in the same component use the same size. Select one of the following options.

      Default (60X40 pixels)

      +25%

      +50%

      +75%

      +100%

      Custom: Use the Width and Height fields to specify the size in pixels. It is recommended that you check the Preserve Aspect Ratio button. Uncheck the Preserve Aspect Ratio checkbox to allow a free-form custom width and height.

2. Select each state in turn and define the settings on each tab. You can configure data settings for any state except start and end states.
   Tip: If the property sheet area for a state is missing some tabs, it means those options were not created in the wizard. Right click the state icon and select Create Content Settings or Create Indicator Settings. See Copy-Paste Create and Delete Convenience Options for this and other convenient options such as copy-paste options.

   Refer to the following sections for guidelines:

   • Content Data and Indicator Data Options. Subsections are as follows:

     Data Settings

     Value Field Settings

     Screen Tip Settings

     Drillable Fields Settings

   • For Content Alerts and Indicator Alerts, the procedure is the same as it is for charts. However for indicator alerts the only valid visual alert action is Fill Color. See Adding Alerts Settings for details.
3. In the Related Charts tab, check the charts you want to display on the dashboard for this state. See Related Charts.
4. Save the state model component.
