We introduced the Calculator archive in an FAQ titled "How to Add MFAA or FBAA Calculators to Your Website. The page links to all the available calculators on your website. The returned single calculator pages are quite naked in design; they include a title block, calculator, right sidebar menu, and optional lead magnet form. This FAQ will show you to how include text above the calculator as a means of introducing the resource.
This FAQ will also show the process of assigning 'interests' to your various calculators.
First, a look at a single calculator page.
Pictured: The page links to all the available calculators on your website. The returned single calculator pages are quite naked in design; they include a title block, calculator, right sidebar menu, and optional lead magnet form.
The pictured example shows what is essentially a default page with no customisations.
The Result
Our demonstration screenshot is exaggerated a little to show what you might do with a single calculator page, but it's a good example nonetheless. The design looks a little odd, but it looks normal when scrolling down a page.

If you were to use a video, you should consider changing the YouTube thumbnail to naked in design (generally white) with contextual information shown on the image.
Adding Custom Calculator Text in Yabber
Calculator options in Yabber are made available via selecting the 'Contentus' (cube) icon in the 'Website' module. You should then select the Calculator icon to return available options. It is here that we'll define our preferred industry association. Note that this option will also update the text shown above calculators.

The entry panel is used to create the text and assign interest. We'll update the text for the 'Borrowing Power Calculator'. Select your website and calculator 
, define your interest and submit. A panel is returned with a text option. If no text has been provided, default text is returned that you may modify. Populate the text and save.

Our example is reasonably complex in that we've introduced shortcodes and video, but it may include just text.
When we're happy with the text options we've defined we should update our website. Select the 'Send' panel, select your website, define other options, and send. This 'Send' action will also define our parent industry body (for the purpose of calculator branding).

A Note on Interests
When we created text for each of the modal types, we were asked to select an optional interest type. Applied to Calculator Modals only, this interest is used for our conditional understanding. Of all the interest signals, the calculator signal is quite weak in general terms, but contextually, or used within a specific type of page, it starts to return more value.
