Style Manager
The Style Manager is used to add, modify, and delete node styles. A node style is a visual indicator that can be assigned to a node to impart meaning to the Task Assistant user.
Each node style has the following settings:
- Name—The name of the style
- Default Image—The default image for the node; must be specified
- Selected Image—If defined, the image that appears when a step is selected
- Open Image—The image that displays for parent and root nodes when the node set is expanded
- Text Color—The font color used to display the text associated with the step name
- Bold Text—If enabled, allows the node text to be displayed in bold
- Italics Text—If enabled, allows the node text to be displayed in italics
You can leverage styles to convey additional information about steps. For example, you may want to highlight mandatory or informational steps by using node styles. As the designer, you can also add an unlimited number of custom styles. Custom images can be applied to the Default Image, Selected Image, and Open Image node style settings.
There are a number of default node styles:
