What is a label panel?
The label panel allows you to add textual labels anywhere on your display board. These labels can consist of static text, dynamic text (such as the current date and time), and images (such as your company logo) by specifying no text but choosing a background image.
The example below shows how label panels - highlighted in red - appear on a display board; a large label panel,
, is shown at the top of the screen, followed by two smaller label panels, and , describing the sections below them. Twofurther label panels were used to add a company logo (at the top-left of the page) and the current date and time (at the top-right of the page).| Screenshotmacro |
