Visuals - Messaging Conditional Formatting
From VersaVision Support
A Messaging Widget allows the user to setup a display for the Text Communications that are setup on Monitoring Points.
The Conditional Formatting section allows the user to define a Style to be used when a specific condition is met. There are 3 formatting options available - State Change, Time Threshold, and Tag.
This page will explain the use of each formatting option in the Conditional Formatting section of a Messaging Widget/Dashboard.

Click on the radio button for Time Threshold to ensure it is selected.

To change the Time, click in the "H" field to enter the number of Hours to elapse before a Style is used.
The user can either type in a value for the Hours field or use the Up/Down arrows on the right side to Increase/Decrease the number.
Use the "M" field to enter a number of Minutes to elapse before a Style is used.
Use the "S" field to enter a number of Seconds to elapse before a Style is used.
