Description
Title
The text that is displayed in the widget title bar.
You can dynamically change this text by updating it based on an event. The blue View Mappings button is used to view the metadata of the dataset. If no dataset has been selected it is empty otherwise it shows the metadata as inputs and outputs.
For example, if you have configured two widgets in such a way that the data in the second widget is updated by an event selected in the Refresh Events when an action is performed in the first widget by passing the city name in the Request Parameters in Configure widget dataset, then you can update that city name in the title of the second widget as
<b> {{Dataset-1.inputs.City.value}} <b>whereCityis the city name.You can also translate this text by clicking on the Translate icon
and entering the translation of the desired language selected. Auto-suggestions are also available where the reused contents are auto-suggested.Also, for example, if a word like 'Day' is passed on clicking a button in the first widget, then you can translate and update that word 'Day' in the title of the second widget as
<b> {{lg Dataset-1.inputs.buttonInput.value}} <b>.Note
It must be 0-500 characters only.
