Smart Fill automatically sets the fill color of a topic based on the value of a Topic Property. You create a Smart Fill rule based on up to three conditions and select the fill color to apply when each condition is satisfied.

  1. Select a topic on the map where you want to apply the Smart Fill rule.

  2. On the ribbon's Advanced tab, click Smart Fill.

  3. In the Property list, select the Topic Property you want to evaluate from the list of existing properties on the current topic, or enter the name of a new property (it will automatically be created on the topic).

  4. Define the condition to be met.

  5. Select the fill color to apply.

  6. Optional Repeat steps 3-5 for up to two more conditions, and then click OK.
    Note that these conditions will be evaluated from top to bottom.

When you select a topic with a Smart Fill rule, the Smart Fill button on the ribbon's insert tab is highlighted. The Smart Fill conditions are re-evaluated whenever you edit the topic properties.
