I've got a page in an LCA I've been building that sorts devices into Region and Market via variables (call them TV1 and TV2 for now) and I'd like to enhance the readability of the return information by cascading one or both of the Variables into the Title of the Visualization. Does anyone know if there's a way to format the Visualization Title to access those variables? What I'm going for is something along the lines of "Displaying devices from TV2 market in TV1 region".
Alternately, could some of the Column Headers for the returned data be used in the same way?
Hi Matt,
It isn't possible to user variables or other data in the title of visualizations. Instead you can add a Text of HTML component on the page that displays the desired text combined with some modified margins in the component theme.
Setup
Result
The content of the HTML component should update automatically whenever the referenced variable updates. I was able to confirm this on a local setup. What DataMiner (web) version are you using where this isn't working for you?
This deployment is running 10.5.0.0-16294. I'll retry with a separate static variable just to make sure I didn't miss something simple.
Update: Retried with both static and dynamic variables and it worked this time, so this one's good to go. Thanks for your help with it.
I tried this out and can see that it does work to call a variable – unfortunately it doesn't work for my situation because the variable isn't set before the LCA page loads, it's set afterwards via button press and the HTML doesn't refresh when the new table result is loaded. I appreciate your help – I'll keep this info around and see if I can integrate it into things down the road.
