Setting Event Appearances
Event decorations allow creating global styling that applies to event types. These decorations impact how events appear across several Workstation widgets, including:
Event decorations are created in the Workstation Settings page, within the Data Ingestion tab.
To create event decorations:
- From the top of the Workstation homepage, click the Settings icon.
- In the left side drawer of the Settings page, click Data Ingestion. A list of event types appear.
- To the right of an event, click the More menu (⋮) and select Change Icon/Color/Title.
- Set any of the following properties for the event:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Primary Title | Pick one or multiple fields from the event type to use as the event's primary title. Multiple fields will be concatenated. |
| Color | Visualize representations of the event type with a specific color. |
| Icon | Visualize representations of the event type with a specific icon or image. Icons appear in Link Analysis, in the Map widget, and on events attached to collections. |
- Click Save.
Event types that do not utilize event decorations default to a white/gray color, a generic icon, and the Core ID or event type name as the primary title.
Examples
