Define a highlight rule

Rules can be defined to highlight data table values and resources in a map. Highlight rules become centrally available upon creation, i.e. a highlight rule library stores the rules and makes them accessible to any map within the process repository.

The following rules can be defined and applied:

Data Table allows you to highlight data tables that contain values within a specific criteria (for example, Less Than 10, Not Equal To 15, etc).

Resource allows you to highlight any activities that have a specific resource or resource group attached to it.

Multi-Rules Logic allows you to combine up to three highlight rules in a single highlight rule using AND logic.

Note: Only Administrators and Rule Managers can add, modify and delete highlight rules. Highlight rules are not supported in the web server.
