1. Create a field that stores the statement message. The statement message field can be added to any worksheet in Designer. Enter the message text in a cell the way you want it to appear on the statement.
2. Rename the field on the worksheet to represent the message for which it’s used. Update the display name and its message label on your statements.

3. Exit Designer and open a user’s statement where you want to add the metric tile.
4. Click **Edit** and click **Add Tile**.
5. For Metric Type, select **Custom**.
6. For Field, select the display name.
7. For Visualization Type, select **Single Value**.
8. For Size, leave Regular selected so more characters appear in the message.

Remember that everyone on the plan has the message on their statement. If you want the message to show up on all reps’ statements, add the metric card to an individual on each plan. To change the message monthly, edit the worksheet field and it automatically updates everyone’s message during the next recalculation cycle.
