how to add text to a dashboard

Question

I'm new to using Orion and built my first simple dashboard with a bunch of interfaces using Custom HTML.

of course my boss suggested i put a title or text box along the top to explain what the various devices are for the non technical people looking at the screen.

spent about 20 minutes looking at the various widgets and options and cant figure out how to add a text box (or whatever its properly called) in a Dashboard (partial screenshot included)

love the community and hope to contribute as i learn more

I use the Custom HTML widget. You can use standard html formatting and basic CSS.

If you want to get "fancy" you can use Network Atlas and Custom Properties as discussed in this thread: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/Contests-Missions-Discussions/Here-is-my-one-rotates-between-WAN-with-interface-utilisation/m-p/66831#233251

Shout-out to @AlexSoul for that gem

coincidentally , i was just playing with that, but i have 2 columns and ideally want something to go across the entire width of the screen

thanks for the fast reply - much appreciated
