Add a title and description to a panel 30

Add a title and description to a panel

Add a title and description to a panel to share with users any important information about the visualization. For example, use the description to document the purpose of the visualization.

  1. Open a panel.

  2. In the panel display options pane, locate the Panel options section.

  3. Enter a Title.

    Text entered in this field is displayed at the top of your panel in the panel editor and in the dashboard.

    You can use [variables you have defined]({{< relref "../../variables/" >}}) in either field, but not [global variables]({{< relref "../../variables/variable-types/global-variables/" >}}).

  4. Write a description of the panel and the data you are displaying.

    Text entered in this field is displayed in a tooltip in the upper left corner of the panel.

    You can use [variables you have defined]({{< relref "../../variables/" >}}) in either field, but not [global variables]({{< relref "../../variables/variable-types/global-variables/" >}}).
