You can create a new type of HUD card by creating a basic playbook or by using the REST API.

• Create a playbook with a single utility block that will call the pin API.
  For details on creating a playbook with a utility block, see Set parameters with the API utility section of the Add functionality to your playbook in using the Utility block article.
• Call the /rest/container_pin API, as described in /rest/container_pin in the REST API Reference for documentation.

HUD cards display in Investigations in the same order they appear in the list of HUD cards you created in the Event settings page. Reorder the cards by dragging the cards by the handle ( ☰ ) into the order you want them to be displayed.

Delete a HUD card by selecting the circled x ( ⓧ ) icon to the right of the HUD card definition.
