Creating Event Decorations

Event decorations allow creation of global styling that applies to event types. These decorations impact how events appear across several Workstation widgets, including:

Event decorations are created in the Workstation Designer tab.

To create event decorations:

  1. From the top of the Workstation homepage, click the Designer tab.

  2. In the left side drawer of the Designer tab, click the Events icon. A list of event types appear.

    :::note**

    If no events appear, active filters applied to the Event Decorations table may be filtering them.

    :::

  3. To the right of an event, click the pencil icon (✎) to open a modal popup containing three values to be altered as part of the event's decoration. Refer to the following table for a description of each field:

FieldDescription
Primary TitlePick one or multiple fields from the event type to use as the event's primary title. Multiple fields will be concatenated.
ColorVisualize representations of the event type with a specific color.
Icon/ImageVisualize representations of the event type with a specific icon or image. Icons will appear in Link Analysis, in the Map widget, and on events attached to collections
note

Changes to any field affect the following:

  • Events attached to collections
  • Link Analysis nodes
  • Popups from map widget markers

Primary Title also affects Attached Events on collection PDF exports.

Event types that do not utilize event decorations default to a white/gray color, a generic icon, and the Core ID or event type name as the primary title.
