Anyone done a visitor board with different font sizes

[mark_anderson_us]

Hi All

I have an excel file with

Date Co Visitor1 Visitor2 Visitor3 Visitor4

I use ODBC to get all visitors for today and want to display

COMANY1
Visitor 1
Visitor 2
Company2
Visitor 1
Visitor 2
Visitor 3

Anyone got any ideas how to do it? Only way I can see is to be able to add formatting inside a text region

Regards

Mark

Hello Mark,

Currently the software does not allow multiple fonts in a single data based text region.

Though the the layout you mentioned is possible to set up.

Instead of trying to use one region and fit that information on there, you can just create separate regions for Company 1, Company 2 and the visitors for each company.

1. Create 1 text region and connect it to the excel sheet.
2. Copy the region and paste 3 copies.
3. Select the first region and change it Company 1. (This one will display Company 1)
4. Select the second region and Change it to Company 1 Visitors. (This will contain all the visitors from company 1)
5. Select the third region and change it to Company 2. (This will display Company 2)
6. Select the fourth region and change it to Company 2 visitors. (This will display Company 2 visitors)

This will give you the ability to change the font for each section.

This how the regions could possibly be setup:




The final outcome:




How the example excel sheet is setup:

Thanks Victor

We don't know how many companies will visit each day, so such a static layout wouldn't work
