Count and Percent UI types

Edit online

IBM® Engineering Lifecycle Optimization Engineering Insights provides separate UI types such as Count UI type and Percent UI type for all the node definitions.

About this task

Following are the advantages of Count UI type and Percent UI type:
  • You can modify the node definition that contains different properties such as width, height, fill color, stroke, and radius. You can use these properties to change the appearance of the node.
  • You can apply the conditional formatting for fill and stroke properties to change the appearance of the nodes when the represented artifacts meet the defined conditions.
