Conditional Formatting on Dashboard Visualizations

Using Dashboards in Cognos Analytics, enable the capability to apply conditional formatting to dashboard visualizations (charts, summaries, and other visualizations, not just grids).

    If something is status 'Red' then I'd like to show it as Red. Currently this depends on the order in the palette which is fine until there are for example no Yellow statusus and the Yellows become Green, etc.

    Agreed.

    In Crosstabs, this is available using the Conditional Color property (at least since 11.1.7) and it works wonderfully. This is still missing on charts though. Charts use the Color data slot which does not accomplish the same objective since you cannot "hard-code" the value colors. For instance, coloring negative values red and positive values green consistently is still impossible in charts and this is a basic functionality that business users expect to have.

    agreed - looking for similar functionality  that is presently available in Report Studio using the RENDER Property of an Image. 

    The Image displayed (Green UP Arrow, Green DOWN Arrow, Red Up Arrow, Red Up Arrow) 
    is based on a condition.

    See attached...

    Because users want to use risk, health and trend signals in their dashboards to detect problems quickly
