Adding Layer Styles

Adding a new Layer Style

When creating a Data Layer or a Yotta Asset Layer, you can define one or more Layer Styles. Each style defines a rule that's applied to data fields in order to trigger the chosen style colour. If no style rules trigger for a particular item, that item won't be shown in the Layer.

Based on text matching options

You can create styles for a Layer based on a match to alphanumeric characters. Specify text to include or exclude data items or to associate colour styling with a match.

See Options Layer Styles.

Based on number ranges

You can create styles for a new Layer based on number ranges. Use number ranges for a style if your formula need contain only numeric values. The data that is true for the defined number ranges is visible on the map in the colour that you pick for each number range style.

See Number Range Layer Styles.

Based on a custom formula

You can create custom styles for a new Layer. When you create a custom style, you create a formula based on attributes of the data. You build the formula for the style using your data elements and the operator building blocks to create a logical statement. You can use non-standard operators in a custom formula. Band your data according to your formulas and apply a colour to each band. The data that is true for the defined formula is visible on the map in the colour that you pick for the style.

See Custom Layer Styles.

Existing Layer

You can create a set of styles for a new layer based on the styles of an existing layer.
