12. Selecting the display period of an item
Firstly, you need to choose the period during which the item will be displayed. In the case of this example, it's a birthday template that has been selected, and I want to display it for the month. So, I set a start date on the 1st of the month and an end date on the 31st of the month. Therefore, in this example, the 4 persons in the company whose birthdays are in March each have a start date of March 1st and an end date of March 31st.
If you check the "always show" box, it means that the item will always be displayed.
Write the title
In this example, the title is the employee's name and the date of their birthday.
Fill in the required fields in the template
In this example, you need to enter the birthday date and the employee's name.
12. Click on the floppy disk icon to save.
13. Add more elements as needed.
You can add more elements by repeating steps 10 through 12.
For example, if there are four employees whose birthday is in March, you will need to repeat steps 10 through 12 four times.
Here is the final example of the added elements.
Tip: It is recommended to add all employees' birthday dates. This way, it becomes much easier to manage using the start date/end date and the toggles afterward.
Some options in the left section of the "Configure message clip" window:
Toggle: This button is used to activate or deactivate an element. In this example, if you no longer want to display Nathan's birthday, you can deactivate it. It will be deactivated across all screens that have this message group clip.
Checkbox: If you uncheck the box, the unchecked element will no longer be displayed only on the screen you are currently modifying.

The button is on the right
