You can add dynamic text, such as field names, to elements in the text editor. At run time, the values in the referenced fields display in the dashboard and update dynamically. The text editor is shown in the following image:

To do this, provide the field name directly into the HTML source, or click Insert Insert, and choose a field name or one of the following dynamic text options from the drop-down list:

  • Application—Display the dashboard's locale and time zone. This can also be inserted in various places where titles and captions are typically displayed such as in a header, splash screen, template in lists, or certain elements.
  • Item—Display the dashboard's title, description, date created or date modified, and other information from the item details page. This can be added in various places where titles and captions are typically displayed such as elements, header panel, sidebar, splash screen, and the rich text element.
  • Field Values—Display fields. This can be inserted in category selectors, template in lists, and in feature-based elements such as gauge and indicator.
  • Calculated Values—Display the aggregated statistics in the indicator element.
