This page covers the legacy rules that turn cell content into more visual slide elements.

​
Chevron rule

Use Chevron to show sequence, direction, process steps, or timeline flow. The legacy support article documents these property groups:
  • Style for fill and outline
  • Appearance for skew, direction, and flat starting edge
  • Size
  • Margin
Chevron direction can flow:
  • Left to right
  • Right to left
  • Top to bottom
  • Bottom to top

​
Header, underline rule

Use Header, underline when header cells need a stronger visual separation from the rows below. The legacy support article highlights:
  • Line style for color, width, and thickness
  • Label style for text styling
  • Alignment
  • Margin
This rule is useful when a simple underline plus controlled header typography is enough, without turning the header into a full shape.

​
Icon rule

Use Icon when every targeted cell should get the same icon. The legacy support article describes these property groups:
  • Style for icon choice and color
  • Layout for placement in or around the cell
  • Size
  • Margin
Use Icon when the visual marker is static across the whole target area.

​
Icon conditional rule

Use Icon conditional when the icon should depend on the cell value or another value source. The legacy support article highlights:
  • A Conditions section with logical operators
  • Layout
  • Size
  • Margin
Useful examples include:
  • Status indicators
  • Up/down trend arrows
  • Category-specific symbols
If you select a range before adding the rule, Grunt can create starter conditions from the selected data automatically.

​
Logo rule

Use Logo when company names or other identifiers should be replaced with real logos. The legacy support article documents two sourcing models:
  • Cloud search through Google and Bing
  • Local folder sources configured in Grunt settings
Important behaviors:
  • Logos can take a few extra seconds to resolve
  • You can choose alternative search results
  • You can refine the search term when the first result is wrong
  • Local sources are preferred based on their order in settings
The same article also notes a privacy tradeoff: cloud logo search shares the search term with the external search providers.

​
Choosing between these rules

  • Use Chevron for process flow
  • Use Header, underline for structured table headers
  • Use Icon for static repeated markers
  • Use Icon conditional for value-driven symbols
  • Use Logo for company or brand identity
