Options Layer Styles

Defining a Layer Style from Text Matching Options​

You can create one or more styles for a Data Layer or Yotta Asset Layer that check if specific text values are present in the data for each subsection of your Network assets. When the Layer is active, each subsection will be coloured according to the last style that triggered on it.
