Hi,
I need to be able to display a warning icon if a value in my database exceeds a certain value.
I know how to build the Customer Data Viewer and I know the “Advanced Binding”.
But where and how should the logic around the display of the icons be placed?
Does anyone know of a relevant thread or examples of this?
Example of what I would like to achieve is:
FieldValue \> 8 - show red icon
FieldValue \< 3 - show green icon

Conditional binding with the data viewer list is not possible at this time. Your options are to [paint the DVL](https://community.thunkable.com/t/fun-share-dvl-hack/1665645) or to use a [layouts component and cloning.](https://community.thunkable.com/t/join-us-in-beta-testing-the-new-layouts-component-rows-columns-for-the-drag-and-drop-interface/1970795)

Thanks for the reply.
I’m not sure I’m catching the purpose of the “layouts” component in relation to the specific issue.
So there is no way I can show/hide a component/image based on a value?

Did you try the “paint the DVL” method mentioned above? Because that is a way to alter the look of DVL elements based on conditional values.

Thank you for your reply.
I have looked a bit at the solution of painting the DLV, but I do not think it is the right technical solution to loop through a temporary table.
So I have solved it with formulas in the database, which generate a filename depending on which image to display.
