# Realtime Indicators

Realtime Indicators (**RTI**) provide a visual way to interpret field values in YouDesign Models, using colors and visual cues to enhance the readability of boards and diagrams. This feature makes it easy for users to identify important information at a glance, facilitating quicker decision-making.

## Applying Realtime Indicators

To apply Realtime Indicators to your board, follow these steps:

1. Open the board in **Edit Mode**.
2. Click the Realtime Indicator **Icon** in the **top right widget toolbar**.
3. The **Realtime Indicator Panel** will appear on the right side of the screen.

The RTI panel has two sections:

* The top section allows you to select a table, field, and style of the Realtime Indicator.
* The bottom section is the **Legend**, showing all the selected and applied Realtime Indicators.

4. Select the **table**, **field**, and **style** for the RTI. You can position the RTIs within or outside of the shape. After your selections, click the **Add** button to apply the RTI.

## Interacting with Realtime Indicators

The RTI **Legend** is your main interface for managing, highlighting, and filtering RTI data.

* **Expand/Collapse** the Legend, which is organized by **Table > Field > Indicator Value**.
* You can toggle the **ON/OFF** switch to enable or disable the RTIs or remove them by clicking the **X** icon.

* Clicking on an **Indicator Value** will highlight its associated shapes. You can select multiple values to apply an **AND/OR** logic to filter and analyze the data.

> **Note:** Once a Realtime Indicator is applied, it cannot be selected again.
