Colorize Flowo diagram objects

I want automatic colors for flow diagram objects ...

e.g. start = green, decision = red, database = blue ... and so on.

Either get the object-class as a trigger for smartrules, or let a color be assigned to shape type in general.

Thank you vor introducing Topic Styles to me.

But the workflow would be, creating a subsequent activity in the flow-chart and then (afterwards) assign topic-style.

I want using the orginal mindmanager workflow: choosing the style of subsequent step and placing it where it should be. Color and formatting should be in place immediately that moment.

How can I automatically assign a style to a flow-chart-action?

Since different elements can follow, I think automation is difficult. But with the help of SmartRules it is partly possible. A term or letter can serve as a trigger. The event is then a defined Topic Style.

I do ALL my formatting with automation and smart rules.

What about introducing "shape" as a trigger for smart rules .

Then I can put coloring and icons to my flowchart objects.

How to request this from the developers?

Thx

Best Regards

Hi Bert

I think I've understood it now. I can define my own colours and shapes. When I insert a new shape, it corresponds to my style, e.g. Start is always red.
It is best to set the suggestion under share an Idea.
Here I could select my own style. It would be good if I could create and select my standard style library. As with the themes.

Hi,

working with letters and Text for triggering a shape rule is not consistent and convenient (Text will trigger some other formatting)

I definitely would like to suggest shape style as trigger for smart rules.

How and where to place and suggest to Mindjet?

Thanks and best regards

Bert
