# Semantic formatting

Inforiver streamlines the process of applying rules to an entire table with a single click, saving data analysts and analytics professionals valuable time. 

Users can quickly modify the colors and number format of values, including the ability to indicate negative values with a "-" or "()" symbol. 

With this feature, users can easily create visually appealing and informative tables without the need for multiple rules for each column.
