More to know about customizing Strip displays:

• If you place the same item in two cells next to each other, the cells merge.
• Green in the setup table indicates two cells merged vertically. Blue indicates two cells merged horizontally.
• You cannot merge both vertically and horizontally.
• With any cell selected, you can choose SCALE HEIGHT TO CONTENT, which will wrap data in the cell and increase the cell size so that all data is visible in every Strip. You can also change the alignment of the data in the cell (left, center, or right alignment).
• Your Strip layout will be saved as a part of your Schedule.
