Tip

A style selected in the Visualization Manager can include individual, predefined element properties. As a result, these are not listed in this view because a fixed value is already assigned to them. They do not require any more configuration.

Tip

Visualizations can be configured with device-specific restrictions that block the availability of element properties.

. Device-specific restrictions :

  • Fewer available elements

  • Fewer available fonts

  • Fewer displayable fonts

  • Fewer displayable image formats

  • Maximum number of visualization elements

  • Maximum number of visualizations below the device
