Dynamic Title and Description in Indicators and Charts

[LaurenWinkler]

Add the ability to include dynamic values in the title and description of indicators and charts, based on selected filter criteria. For example, if an indicator or chart is filtered by a particular county, then the name of that county should be displayed in the title or description.

Lists have a way to show data from a field and this concept should be added to the Title and Description controls for indicators and charts.

YES! I am currently developing a Dashboard for use by a number of stakeholder agencies. The first thing they will do is filter the map, serial charts, pie charts and table by their agency name, using the filters I have added to the Dashboard Header (not using individual filters in each element). They will filter on Fiscal Year and some other variables using the filters in the header. I want the titles or descriptions of the charts and tables to reflect their filtered selection. This will give my users more confidence that the numbers they are looking at reflect their selection set.

It would be even better if this "dynamic title" could be used to name the downloaded excel file the user can generate from the filtered charts and tables.

Yes! We have a need for dynamic titles.  Our data sensors are being moved to different locations and we need the titles to reflect the current locations of the sensors, currently a field in the featureset.  Also, our end users are filtering the data and we need the titles to reflect these filters.

We need this feature to show titles for filtered data

Adding my name to the list along with a kudos 👍 .

A work-around for this is to:

• Add a List as a row just above the chart and/or table (you can choose to group items);
• From the List properties, Data menu, set the Maximum features displayed to '1';
• Set the Data Layer of the List to the same layer shown in the chart/table;
• From the List properties, Actions menu, set a Filter for both the List with the option to "Render only when filtered" and the chart (do not check box next to "Render only when filtered' for the chart).

 When user clicks on the list item, the chart will update to reflect data for the location and the chart title will reflect location selected.

Thanks JamesShively for this Workaround. It works!

In any case, it would also be useful for me to have the possibility to enter a variable title in the Dashboards.

Adding our name to the list of entities that could use this functionality.  In our particular case I am attempting to create a serial chart that shows year over year comparison of code enforcement cases broken down by month then split by year and I need the ability to then further break it down by record type.  I can achieve this by creating a category selector but then it is not reflected in the title of the serial chart.

Would also like to see this, having to add in another element for this functionality seems a clunky workaround
