The KPI card can have its background color changed (default color). It can also have one or more color rules, for example, to be used to make the background color change to indicate the value is below or above a certain threshold. A color rule will always have priority over the default color and override this if its condition is met.
To enter a new rule:

select a color
enter the condition field, operator and value
preview the result or save
To edit an existing rule, click on the rule and it expands into edit mode.
Change the header text color and add a header stripe by configuring style.
Under presentation, add the data which is to be displayed in the KPI card. All presentation objects are configured with a fixed size, default color and an optional color rule (for configuration see ).
