Button Caption

The caption for a button can be configured in Designer then changed later during Runtime using Workflows. For example, if there was a Workflow which toggled a light on/off, the button could change its caption to show as "Turn On" when the light is off, and "Turn Off" when the light is on.

Setting the Caption on the Properties Grid

  1. In Designer, navigate to the Map or Display Layout containing the button.
  2. Select the button.
  3. In the Properties, set the Caption to the value you want to show on the button.
