Interaction Syntax in the Dashboard

You must specify the correct syntax when creating an interaction in a dashboard designer dashboard. The syntax is different for each dashboard designer.

To specify a selection or results interaction in the dashboard designer, use this syntax.

For example,

To create an interaction:

• Determine the source step and parameters.
• Start with the basics, "{{}}". Interactions are case sensitive.
• An interaction with a trigger is "{{.selection}}" and without a trigger is "{{.result}}".
• Define which step to make the interaction by using the API name, not the label. "{{Step_1.selection}}"
• Identify where the information for the interaction comes from: a cell, column, or row. Cell and column are more common than row. "{{column(Step_1.selection)}}"
• Define the data serialization function by the expected result of the data, one value or an array of values. In most cases, the column function works with asObject() data serialization and the cell function works with asString(). "{{column(Step_1.selection).asObject()}}"
• To complete the data selection, define the information that the interaction must take then add the field. For asObject(), wrap the field in [] and quotes. With asString(), the brackets aren't needed: "{{column(Step_1.selection, ["value"]).asObject()}}". For cell, define which row to take the cell from: "{{cell(Step_1.selection, 0, "value").asString()}}".
