Dynamix Text Box?

Anonymous — Thu, 28 May 2020 20:43:58 GMT

Hi there,

Is it possible to have a dynamic text box? Specfically, if I open a page by drilling down / filter, I would like to have a text box at the top with a large font header showing the drill down. For example, imagine you have a list of projects and clicking on the project shows a Project Details Drill Down Page. I would want that secondary page to have a header at the top with the Project Name.

Any thoughts here? I'm surprised there are no properties for the text box object?!?!?

Hi Anonymous

you can use dynamic Title text functionality for Text Box:

Thanks az38! Did a bit more digging and found a trick to build upon this where you create a "value" for the chart title of whatever you want. Essentially you add the value with whatever text and calculations (i.e. "Project: [Project Number]") you want and then reference that value where you mentioned under visualizations.

This was 2 years ago, but if anyone is interested, I think you could try making a tooltip. You hover your mouse over it and you can get information from another view, and it's another view you configure it however you want.
