Priority

If there are two behavior rules that refer to the same element and have the same action but different target values, they may conflict if both conditions occur at the same time.

For example, a rectangle can be colored green when the system is running and red when it has an alarm pending. To ensure that the alarm condition always has priority and red is always applied before green, it can be given a higher priority.

For behavior rules with the same element and the same action, enter a suitable number in the Priority field to let the system know which of the rules is to be given priority in the event of a conflict. Smaller numbers mean a higher priority, i.e. the most important rule (e.g. an alarm) should ideally receive a lower number, while rules for normal operation can be assigned higher numbers. The actual number entered is less important than the relative difference between the values.
