[Programming Help] - Study Summary Window feature request

Dear Support,

I am using the Study Summary window to display text alerts from multiple charts in a chartbook.

Can you please let me know how can do the following things:

1. When there is no alert (alert condition is not met = FALSE) I want to display an empty cell instead of un-highlighted cell with the alert text.

2. I want to turn off the automatic highlighting of cells where there is an alert displayed.
This would be required because I define the cell content (alert) as a text with a specific background color, but the automatic highlighting always overwrites the background color.

Can you please let me know if these are doable now, or can be added as new features?

Thank you

1. We can do this.

2. How are you doing the background coloring now, through ACSIL? If so, then why not just rely on your own method of setting the color and not use the alert on the study.

Re #1: that would be perfect

Re #2: I am using the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition Study to define my alert and set the study's subgraph draw style to 'Text with Background' - this defines the alert's cell content (text) and can control the background color too.
So I'm not using ACSIL - maybe this is not the most efficient way to accomplish what I want, but it works.

Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Dear Support,

May I ask you to check Point 2 of #1 post?

2. I want to turn off the automatic highlighting of cells where there is an alert displayed.
This would be required because I define the cell content (alert) as a text with a specific background color, but the automatic highlighting always overwrites the background color.

Can you please add the option to not highlight a cell in Study Summary Window (option to turn of cell highlighting) when an alert triggers, because the automatic highlighting overrides the study alert-defined background/text color when using the text with background display mode. I would like to display the alerts in cells of the Study Summary window, identical to as they are defined in the study alert/display mode.

Thank you in advance!

Hi Support,

I am actually building something similar, can this be turned off when true?

Were you able to do this? How could we configure it to:

Output text, color the background both on the chart and Study Summary, and have different colors shown in Study Summary for different alert conditions?

Now I am using ACSIL for colors/alerting.

If already have some alerts on studies and on Color Bar for Alert condition, how can simply move them to ACSIL, just to show different colors on the Study Summary?
