1. Right-click the symbol collection and click Format Collection to open the Format Collection pane.

2. You can customize the Style of the collection by setting the following:

      Choose the background color for the collection canvas.

   2. Customize the border.

      • Border: Choose the color of the border.

      • Weight: Choose the thickness of the border.

   1. Wrapping: Select Left to right to arrange the symbols horizontally relative to the left border. Select Top to bottom to arrange the symbols vertically relative to the top border.

      Note: Resize the collection canvas so it is large enough to contain your desired wrapping.

4. For No search results, you can enter custom text that appears if the collection has filter criteria that does not return any results. The text that you enter can help your users understand what it means when the collection is empty. For example, if you are working with a collection that only shows temperature sensors that are in an alarm state, the text could say "No temperature sensors are currently in alarm." The options are:

   Default message - "No items match the collection criteria" appears when the collection is empty.

   Custom message - Allows you to enter the text that appears when the collection is empty.

   No message - No text appears on the screen when the collection is empty.
