single background objects require group?

Post by derek » Thu Jun 28, 2007 7:46 pm

I want to place a label field on almost every card, so it seems logical to make it a background object. In the documentation and tutorials, I find only references to using groups as background objects. Do I need to create a group of my one object, in order to make it a background object, or is there another way to approach this?

Thanks,

Derek

Derek, you're right - groups are the only objects that can have this 'background' behaviour.

However, there isn't a practical limit to how many groups you can have, so it's not really a problem.

Best,

Mark
