From Google Translate:
Hello Sierra Support, I'm setting up my Numbers Bars studies and have a few questions: 1. Unfinished Auctions (UA): I would like them to be automatically highlighted (e.g. colored) when they appear. Can you confirm the exact settings to achieve this? 2. Exhaustions: I've read that it's possible to use "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition", but I'm not sure of the right formula and settings. Can you give an example for detecting and highlighting Exhaustions? 3. Absorptions: Same question as above - what is the recommended way to highlight absorption areas on the footprint? 4. Study Subgraph Above/Below Bar: In my version, I only see "Study Subgraph Above/Below Bar as Text", but not the one that allows lines to be displayed. Is this normal? Should this study be available by default? Thank you very much for your help. Kind regards,

We have answered the questions about Unfinished Auctions and Exhaustion at the following link:
Help with highlighting footprint

If you have further questions about what was posted there, then please continue the conversation in that thread.

3. For Absorptions, you would need to use the same idea as what is given for Exhaustion. Refer to what we wrote in the other post.

4. There is only the "Study Subgraph Above/Below Bar as Text" in terms of a study that will display a value above or below a bar. If you are wanting to view a line from the data, then this would just come from the study you are using.

We are not certain what exactly you are wanting to do here, so please give us additional information.
