Free Format Text Visualization

Why is it Useful?

Users can now insert free format text into any dashboard using the existing Text visualization. This means that users can add more context to each dashboard including descriptions, guides, technical notes, and other notes.

NOTE: This feature was released in Patch 16.

How Does it Work?

In the Format tab of a Text visualization, the Text Editor Mode property is used to turn the feature on and off. Selecting the 'On' radio button launches the Text Editor window used for entering free format text.
