Learn how to build data-backed templates in Lucid that perform real-time calculations as you diagram. This tutorial covers setting default styles, creating custom data fields for assignees or time, and building shape libraries. Discover how to use if-else conditional formatting to change shape colors based on data thresholds. You will also see how to group dynamic shapes, like progress donuts, with formulas that sum up properties across your entire document.
