27 - Adding a title

📖 Task Introduction

Your “read-only” Flight Alert inbox is now functional, but before sharing it with any colleagues or users, let’s explore a few aesthetic improvements, starting with the module header. There are multiple ways to set a title for your module, but here, we’ll use the method available in the header configuration panel itself as described in the documentation.

🔨 Task Instructions

  1. Click on the Header layer at the top of your module. You’ll know it’s selected because the corresponding item is highlighted in the layout panel on the left, and its configuration panel opens on the right.
  2. In the configuration panel, change the icon to Airplane, and set its color to Red 3.
  3. To set the title in the Header, click on Use a variable, click into the Select string variable . . . field and choose ➕ New string variable.
  4. Choose a Static variable type, and in the variable fly-out window, change the variable name to [s] Module title. The [s] indicates a string variable as opposed to, say, the numeric ([n]) one you set in the metric card exercise.
  5. Set the default value to **Flight Alert Application**.
