I can drag a tag to the screen and display the state or value (digital and analog). Is there a way to also display the name of the tag displayed?

Hi @eddie_johnson,

You will need to create your own template with a label linked to the name of your tag and the value linked to the desired object.

Are you using vision or perspective ?

Vision 8.1. I’ll give that a try, thanks.

In vision it's more difficult to do.  
I would work with a udt definition and the drop target set to this udt, it will be easier.
