Getting Data In

Passing a variable from search query to title in simple xml

Hi,
I have created a dashboard in simple xml. The alerts for every day is recorded in a lookup is shown in the dashboard. By default, the last alert will be shown in the panel.
In the title of the panel, i want to add the Date from the lookup like - "Alerts at 3-Sep-14".

Is it possible to pass the variable from the lookup to the panel title?

My code snippet:

 <row>
   <panel>
      <table> 
 <title>Daily Threshold - $Day$</title>
        <searchString>| inputlookup test.csv | search [|inputlookup test.csv | dedup Day | head 1 | table Day | return Day] | table Day,Operator,Alerts </searchString>

I want the Day value in the search query to be displayed as the title of the dashboard panel.

Why don't you use a "hidden" drop down to set a token which will reflect in title. The search in the dropdown should be exactly same as that in the panel.

Hi Priya312

Did you ever solve this? I want to do something similar, though I have my titles in tags on my panels and want to display the latest value as part of the header to bar charts.

All the best
Bill
