Icon
The Vizlib Simple KPI can be further customized by choosing one of the different icons and fine tuning its placement. To simplify the process, the icons are categorized in the three groups: Good, Good enough or Bad (Figure 7).

Colors
Full control of color settings for both text and trend (Figure 8). You can choose to have quick access to banding for Target color mode (two or three colors) or you can use an expression to set the Target color. The trend color is independent of the target (icon) color and can also be set either to a specific color or an expression.
Figure 8: Colors
If you are in need of more control of the settings, switch the Target color mode to Expression. The color and icon direction can now be controlled using expressions. For the icon, direction 1 indicates up, 0 points the icon to the right and -1 will point it down.
