Control Title Bar

The Control Title Bar

The control title bar contains important information on the context of displayed data. It can contain:

• a fixed description; and/or
• a system generated context description

Fixed descriptions allows meaningful title bars to be defined for controls under non-configurable logins.

In the this example, fixed description is disabled, and the context description shows the control is displaying data for sites with time of use metering, aggregated by business unit over the period September 2011 to September 2012.

In this example the fixed description (Consumption Pie) has been enabled which decreases the font size of context description.

Note: The fixed description can be disabled, but the context description is always displayed.
It is worth giving all controls a fixed name, even if it will not be displayed.
Control titles are used (in preference to generic control type) by the page control panel to show          
the order in which display controls appear on a page.
