Zone Help Text

Most zone types support a button that allows a user to see zone-specific help text, which is defined on the zone page.

You can use HTML tags in the zone help text. The following is an example of help text that contains a variety of HTML tags:

This zone summarizes <font color=blue><b>revenue</b></font> in 4 periods:<br>

The above would cause the word revenue to be bold and blue:

The following are other useful HTML tags:

Please refer to an HTML reference manual or website for more examples.

You can also use "spans" to customize the look of the contents of a text string. For example, your text string could be <span style="font-family:Courier; font-size:large; font-weight:bold;">revenue</span>. This would make the word "revenue" appear as large, bold, Courier text. Please refer to a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) reference manual or website for more examples.

The following is an example of help text using a variety of HTML tags:

<font FACE="arial" size=2>

This zone summarizes <font color=blue><b>revenue</b></font> in 4 periods:<br>

- The <b>1st period</b> is under your control. You simply select the desired <b>Period</b>, above <i>(you may need to click the down arrow to expose the filter section)</i><br>

- The <b>2nd period</b> is the period before the 1st period<br>

- The <b>3rd period</b> is the same as the 1st period, but in the previous year<br>

- The <b>4th period</b> is the period before the 3rd period<br>

<br>

The traffic light's color is determined as follows:<br>

- The ratio of the 1st and 3rd period is calculated<br>

- If this value is between 80 and 100, <font color=orange><b>yellow</b></font> is shown<br>

- If this value is < 80, <font color=red><b>red</b></font> is shown<br>

- If this value is > 100, <font color=green><b>green</b></font> is shown<br>

- If the value of the 3rd period is 0, no color is shown<br>

</font>
