Venus Control Suite Web Editor: Apply Conditional Font Color Based on Data

1. Before applying conditions, ensure your data feed is properly configured in Data Studio and added to your Web Presentation.
2. For help configuring web data sources, refer to Data Studio: How do I configure web data sources?
3. Next, view Venus Web Editor: How do I add my data feed to a web presentation in Venus Control Suite?
4. Open the Web Editor and select the presentation that contains the data field you want to format. 
   • This is where you’ll apply conditional formatting to text elements.

1. Navigate to the Conditions tab.
2. Click the "+" icon to add a new condition.

3. Enter a descriptive Condition Title (e.g., “Train Status Color”).
4. Choose a Condition Type:
   • Text for string-based conditions (e.g., “Cancelled”)
   • Number for numeric conditions (e.g., temperature thresholds)
5. Select the Dynamic Data Source and Dynamic Data Field.
6. Choose a Condition Operator:
   • Text: Contains
   • Number: Contains, Greater Than, Less Than
7. Enter the Static Value and assign a Text Color to be applied when the condition is met.
8. Click Save to apply the condition to the selected elements.

Example: Use a Parking scenario to track parking availability visually. 

• • Lot Status = Full  → Status shows as Red.  
  • Lot Status = Open  → Status shows as Green.  

9. Use the "+" to add more conditions.

• Priority Adjustment:
  When multiple conditions are true, the system uses a priority feature to determine which condition takes precedence.

• Cloning Conditions:
  Conditions can be cloned to streamline duplication and editing across multiple elements.

• Visual Confirmation in UI:

  • Bold text indicates a condition is fully applied to selected elements.
  • Grayed-out text indicates partial application.

• Supported Data Sources:

  • Any field used in the presentation
  • Date & Time fields are supported

Transportation Status Display
A transit agency uses a dynamic data feed to show real-time statuses. By applying conditional formatting:

• “Departed” displays in blue
• “Cancelled” displays in red
• “Delayed” displays in orange

This allows passengers to quickly interpret status changes visually without reading each label.

Weather Display
A weather presentation uses temperature and dew point data to highlight conditions:

• Temperatures >60°F show in orange
• Temperatures >100°F show in red
• Dew point thresholds can trigger yellow or gray text based on comfort levels

Priority settings ensure the most critical condition is displayed when multiple thresholds are met.
