Edit displays in Design mode

Using Design mode, you can edit displays by adding and arranging symbols, shapes, images, and text anywhere on the display.

When you add a symbol to a new display, the display is in Design mode. The Design mode button will be active, and you will see an orange frame around your display and the editing toolbar. The editing toolbar allows you to add shapes, text, or images, as well as arrange and align objects on the display.

To lock the display and start monitoring it, exit Design mode by clicking . Once you exit Design mode, you can view trend cursors on any trend or pan across a trend's time range by dragging it. When the display is not in Design mode, you can still make some changes to it, such as adding data items to existing symbols or swapping related assets in symbols. See Monitor displays.
