Define Source of Dynamic Text

You can define the following elements as the source of dynamic text in analytic applications as in stories:
  • Analytic Application Properties
  • Input Controls
  • Tile Filters & Variables
  • Model Variables
Note

Dynamic text with team signature as source isn't supported.

For how to add dynamic text and more information, see Adding Dynamic Text to a Story.

In addition, you can choose Script Variables as the source of dynamic text.

Only variables of string, number or integer types can be used. Variables set as array aren't supported.

At runtime, the global variables will change according to the customized scripts and their values will be automatically updated in the text widget.
