The infographics entity properties contain definitions that apply at the entity level: the entity’s caption, the tooltip displayed to the end-user, the background color, the animation style, the actions that can be executed from an entity, and more.
Note that actions can be defined at infographics family, entity and graphic object levels.
From the dropdown list at the top of the Properties Pane, select the entity level in order to display its properties.
For properties that include the Data Link 
icon, you can define a rule to control that property and connect it to the actual data. For example, if a value is larger than n, return the color red. After defining a data link, the icon changes to 
and a tooltip shows the details.
Choose the type of presentation the entity will be used for:
· As tile: can be used only in an infographics component. This is the default form.
· As list: can be used only in an infographics component. This type of presentation enables you to design a table-like list of member values. The list can contain three sections, with a header, footer and body.
· In grid: can be used only as in-cell visuals in grids (and connected maps).
Note that in addition to the general entity properties, presentation types also have specific properties. For example, the Animation and Actions properties are relevant for tile and list forms but not for the in-grid form.
This is the ID of the entity. It is automatically assigned to the entity and cannot be changed.

This property is used to generate animation at the infographics entity level, which will occur when member selection is performed in the workboard, or when a time selection occurs.
Click on the value column and then click to open the Infographics Animation window.
In Animate Through, select the relevant option:
Member Selection
The entity will be sliced according to the selected members, and animation will occur through the slicing.
Select a dimension, and then members from that dimension.
Set the Frequency in seconds.
Members Expression
Define an MDX statement that returns a list of members. Animation will occur through these members.
Set the Frequency in seconds.
Time Selection
Define the time selection options and then set the Frequency in seconds.
In Periods Dimension, select Auto (default) for automatic selection of the first date in the list of slicers. Select Date or Date Hierarchy to select from the current Date dimension or Date Hierarchy.
In Last Period, select Auto to take the last period from the currently sliced period in the workboard. Select Last Date to take the last period with data at the level of the currently sliced period. Select one of the other options (e.g. Last Date – Months) to take the last period with data, at the selected level.
To find the last period using a measure other than the default measure, select it in Find Last Period Using.
Choose the Number of Periods to Show and specify whether this is for Previous or Parallel periods. For example, if the selection is Last Date – Months for 3 parallel periods, and the month is January, then last 3 Januaries will show.
In Periods Selection, the default selection is N Last Periods, meaning that the selected number of last periods will show. The First Period AND Last option will show only two members – the first and last periods according to the selections, and will draw a line between them.
The Summary area will explain your selections.
Set to Yes to enable the defined animation.
The width and the height of the infographics entity, in terms of tiles or pixels depending on the selection in Units. For in-grid and list, the unit is pixels.
