Data connected text displays formula whilst loading

Anonymous User — Mon, 12 Dec 2022 06:34:41 GMT

Working on a public facing application which shows indicators of a count of incidents. Have connected a text widget to a dataset and using the Statistic: "CountOfObjectID". My issue is that the text COUNT(ObjectID) displays for several seconds whilst loading.

Is there anyway to avoid this happening?

@Anonymous User It's quite a simple fix. If you go back to your existing expressions, open it up in the dynamic content tool, then if you click on Expression you can rename the item in the box above the expression itself.

Thanks Jonathan, ideally I would love it not have a delay at all but I get it. Will play around with this option

I agree, but these expressions are calculating on the fly. I sometimes insert a different text eg; Getting Values, or such like - so the user knows what to expect.
