Dynamic Text in Item Appearance

 

Overview

Dynamic text allows you to display key information directly on the face of an item, such as attribute values, dates, or calculated values. This helps surface important insights without needing to open the item.

Dynamic text is configured in View Setup (Create Mode) under the Item Appearance tab.

Note: By default, only the item name is displayed on the item face.

 

Using Dynamic Text

You can include any attribute, property, or calculated value using the following format:

[Property Name]

For example:

• [name]
• [Start Date]
• [Cost]

Note: Square brackets must be used to display dynamic values.

 

Formatting Dynamic Text

You can enhance dynamic text using formatting tags:

Function	Description	Starting Element	Ending Element	Example
Bold	Make the font bold	<b>	</b>	<b>[name]</b>
Italic	Make the text italic	<i>	</i>	<i>[name]</i>
Underline	Underlines the text	<u>	</u>	<u>[name]</u>
Emphasis	Provides Emphasis on the text	<em>	</em>	<em>[name]</em>
Mark	Will mark the text	<mark>	</mark>	<mark>[name]</mark>

Subscript	Makes the text subscripted	<sub>	</sub>	<sub>[name]</sub>

Colour	Changes the colour of the text	<front colour = “colour/hexcode”>	</font></p>	<font colour = “red”>[name]</font></p>   <font colour = “#FF0000”>[name]</font></p>

These formatting options can be combined to create clear, visually engaging item labels.
