Dynamically referencing feed values in text

From DataMiner 10.3.11/10.4.0 onwards, some Dashboards and Low-Code Apps features allow you to link to feeds by dynamically referencing feed values from the dashboard or low-code app in specific text fields.

Tip

You can for example use this to navigate to a URL that is dynamically adjusted based on a feed.

Note

To know whether a specific Dashboards or Low-Code Apps feature supports this syntax, refer to the documentation for this feature.

Syntax

To create feed references inside textual settings, use the following syntax:

{FEED.Source name.Feed name.Category name.Data type.Property name}

  • FEED: A fixed keyword to indicate that the variable represents a feed link.

  • Source name: The name of the low-code app page or panel, e.g. "Page 1".

    Note

    When you link a feed to a Web or Text component in a dashboard, omit the source name.

  • Feed name: The name of the feed, e.g. "Table 3".

  • Category name: The part of the feed that will contain the data, e.g. "Selected rows".

  • Data type: The type of data, e.g. "Elements".

  • Property name: The property of the fed data that should be used, e.g. "Protocol Name".

Tip

You can find the name of each part in the FEEDS data source of the edit panel's DATA tab.

Note
  • Any parts of this syntax that contain spaces should be enclosed in double quotation marks.
  • All parts of this syntax are case-sensitive.

Example

If the linked feed provided the element name "Localhost" and the protocol name "Microsoft Platform", the following example would result in the text "The element Localhost uses the protocol Microsoft Platform":

The element `{FEED."Page 1"."Dropdown 3"."Selected item".Elements.Name}` uses the protocol `{FEED."Page 1"."Dropdown 3"."Selected item".Elements."Protocol Name"}`.
