+===== Indicators =====
+Indicators are MIStudio Basic Layout graphics used to display status, values, alarms, or visual state information.
+These graphics are commonly used when an application needs to show whether something is on, off, normal, warning, alarmed, active, inactive, or displaying a numeric value.
+==== Graphics in This Group ====
+^ Graphic ^ Description ^

+==== Data Source Behavior ====

+  * Color
+  * Visibility
+  * Label or text display
+The exact behavior depends on the selected indicator graphic.
