## Setup

In the **Setup** tab, provide the Entity Settings:

* **Entity Type** - Select the Entity Type to be displayed.
* **Entity** - Select the Entity instance to be displayed.

* **Entity Icon Size** - Choose the size of the entity icon (Small or Large).

Additionally, define a Primary Property and/or a Secondary Property to be displayed, along with the Font and Font Size in which to render them. If the properties selected are not user defined, a dropdown control is available for you to select the Value of the desired property. The secondary property will be enclosed in parentheses. If the user defined flag is set, you can access contextual properties associated to a given Entity (for example, if a Material entity is selected and you want to display the name of the Product, entering `Product.Name` will display the required value.)
