Static Widgets
In the Static Widgets folder you will find Interface elements which cannot be linked to the model. They are, as the name of the folder already indicates, unaffected by changes in any variable. The elements in this folder include among others text elements, pictures, lines and boxes.

| 2. | Select the element of your choice. |
