Each arrangement can be saved as a separate page. The system also has pre-set pages (click the Page button to see the list).

The title bar includes the program icon; time of day; position, if applicable; page number; system number; version; and minimize, maximize, and close buttons.

You can remove position information in miscellaneous system preferences (Show Dashboard Summary in the Title Bar).
