*This Rotating Tile shows several health metrics rotating on a single tile.*

- Under the **Format** paintbrush there are several customizations available for the Rotating Tile.
- Under the **Vertical flip** property you can change the orientation of how the Rotating Tile flips. By default it flips horizontally.

- Turning on the **3D effect** property places a border around the rotating measures, which gives it the appearance of being 3D.

By changing the **Animation settings** you can control how fast the values rotate.

**Label settings** has to do with the actual value being displayed. Changing values here simply changes the appearance of the metric values.
