The upper section of the record shows the Indicator Label, the Table Name and Field. You can edit these features here and this will affect how those values are displayed in Designer's interface.

You can also toggle the Active box off to remove this indicator from Designer.

To activate any changes you've made to the record, select **Update**.

### Update realtime indicators appearance in Designer

In addition to changing how you can access a realtime indicator, you can also adjust its appearance in Designer as follows:

1. Select Table Name of the value you want to adjust.
2. You are directed to the Indicator Breakdown screen. Here you can adjust the Indicator, Value Type, Label, Value, and the indicator's color.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Indicator's colors are based on hex values**

To adjust the color of the indicator in Designer, enter a hex value for the color you want.
{% endhint %}

3. Select **Update** to confirm any changes.

## Add realtime indicators

From the realtime indicators list:

1. Select **New**.
2. You are directed to the New Record screen. Enter an Indicator Label, select a Table, and select a field.
