Designing the Custom Title Block

A blank canvas will appear where the title block can be designed.

Use the Shapes to start building the layout

Click Add (+) from the top toolbar to start building the layout.

• Select Text to add the required details or labels on the canvas.
• Select Link to insert a link on the canvas.
• Use other available options as needed to further customize the layout according to your project requirements.

The editor allows you to fully customize your title block by adding or modifying text, variables, shapes, images, icons, and other elements.

The left panel contains all the available design tools.

Add Dynamic Variables

Expand the Variables section from the left panel.

The available variable categories include:

You can also manually save your changes at any time by clicking the Save button.
