Create a dynamic CV (Cube View) Description

Hi dear Community,

I'd like to know whether it's possible to create a dynamic CV description somehow. So far, I've tried using parameters, substitution variables, and Business Rules (BR) in the description field but it's always considered as a plain string.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Carlos

    Hi Carlos, 

    We can accomplish this in two ways: first, as FredLucas mentioned, we can add the parameters/XFBRs in the description section of the CV component within Dashboards/Workspaces, and second, if you want to do this at the CV itself, we can attach the necessary parameters/XFBRs in the page caption section, as shown below.

    Hi Carlos,

    I don't think the CV description accepts parameters/XFBRs etc., when launching the CV directly.
    However, you could achieve that by adding the CV into a dashboard and then, under Components -> Cube View, use the parameters / XFBR on the description field:

     

  • Thank you FredLucas and Manasa. For now I've tried Manasa's solution and it works. So far I haven't tried FredLucas' solution. Thank you both!
