3. To give a Name and a Description for the panel, open the panel properties by clicking the Properties button.
   
4. In the Panel Properties, you can define the Name and Description on the Properties tab.
   
   In addition to normal text, you can use context variables in the Name field, so that the value of the variable will be shown when the context variable has a value. To do this, type the context variable name in the format "{#contextvariablename}" For example, you could define the Name of the panel to be "Selected scorecard: {#sys:metricsScorecard}."
   If the name contains context variable separator characters ({ or }) or an escape character (\), the characters need to be escaped by the backslash (\) character before them. For example, to have "my{0}\example" working properly, it needs to be entered as "my\{0\}\\example".
   This same functionality is available in presentation object names too.
5. Switch to the Presentation tab. See description of all available settings: Panel Settings

The Aspect ratio flex determines how much the aspect ratio of the panel is allowed to change from the initial aspect ratio in different sized screens. After the "Initial aspect ratio * Aspect ratio flex" limit is reached, the panel is either vertically scrollable or there is empty space in the bottom, i.e. the panel contents will always use all space horizontally when viewed.

You can also define panel specific context variable values on the Context tab.

Apply the changes and close the panel properties by clicking Close.
