Transmission Temperature Display

While towing today I was changing pages on the dash and stopped to monitor the transmission temp since I was climbing a grade while on the display the temp was shown as 214. But after I scrolled off the screen I noticed that the trans temp gauge on the top row which typically is just a curved bar chart now had the 214 shown above it just like the distance to empty on the fuel gauge. I liked that it was displayed there as now I wouldn't have to scroll through the pages to get the realtime temp again. But after a few minutes, it was gone and back just to the chart with no numbers above. Is this a setting that I changed and then somehow changed back or does the number above only display when it reaches a certain temp? I would like to have it there permanently if it is possible any thoughts?

Someone else may know but it was my understanding to get them to show all the time was with changes to the as built data using forscan.

Once the coolant and trans temp start to rise to a certain temp, they begin to be displayed like you are seeing.

If you want them there permanently, ForScan can add them.
