Hello. I have a label that must display around 100 different states. E.g. Program paused, program started, waiting on job request 1, etc. based on tags in the PLC. Whenever the program paused tag turns on in the PLC, I want the label to display “Program paused”. Essentially, I just want the text to change according to whatever tag is on. How can I do this in perspective? TYIA ---

I would start with a map transform, [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Map+Transform](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Map+Transform) To add, if you have multiple tags vs one status tag, it might be best to do `binEnum` first.
