Example: If Work Period is open show ‘Close Work Period’ tile. If Work Period is closed show ‘Open Work Period’ tile.

Is this possible?

Yes, its on forum somewhere, dig up the origional custom nave screen examples.  
It would be a single tile with a dynamic display format using a ternary expression.

I know that tutorial.

I was wondering if it is possible to display different physical tiles based on a constraint.

I have two tiles: one to start a work period, one to end. The relevant tiles are as follows:

Start: `{"Alignment":"Right","ButtonHeader":"START\u000d\u000aWork Period","IsFlowBreak":false,"Size":"Small","VisibleIndex":0}`

End: `{"Alignment":"Right","ButtonHeader":"END\u000d\u000aWork Period","IsFlowBreak":false,"Size":"Small","VisibleIndex":1}`

Is it possible to have something like this:

`[=('{SETTING:ISCURRENTWORKPERIODOPEN}'=='FALSE' ? 'SHOW START WORK PERIOD TILE' : 'SHOW END WORK PERIOD TILE')]`

Not really because mappings available wouldn’t fit. No ticket etc available for states etc.  
It doesn’t need to be seperate tiles though. Tiles are pretty much automation commands, so use a single tile flrmatted to display as if it was two, then in your automation for the command have your two automation flows based on constraints you used in the display ternary.  
You one button, regardless of its display can trigger different actions based on constraints within the rule, rather than needing two buttons for two rules, have one or even two rules both on same command but with additional constraints based on work period being open or not.

I didn’t think of that. Thanks!

I’ll need a bit of guidance if I may. I can’t seem to get the text centred.

`Could it something as simple as <block center>?`

There’s an orange settings bar at the bottom of the nav screen, think you need to right click for it to appear, then select the tile you want the text to centre on, click the centre format button from the orange bar and then click save on the right hand side

Tile should refresh and text centre, if not log out and back in for changes to take effect

It’s this same orange bar where you can change the size of the buttons too

Tried `<block center>` with no change.

THe justification buttons on the orange strip never seemed to change any display of the tiles when I played with it.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I’ll keep playing and update if I find anything.

Orange strip buttons definitely work I use them, you may need to log out and back in to see changes

There I go expecting instant results, again. Thanks Rick!

I did find a thread and found enclosing in \<block 1,0,0,0 #5ffffff center 150\> works but aside from the center part of the block quote I have no idea what the other stuff is and why it worked.

Comic Sans? Really? Y’all need jesus.

I kinda like it, though. I would recommend studying your colour wheel a little better when selecting complementary colours.

And go for a walk, or something. Clearly you’ve too much free time.

This is true. 🤣
