Variables

« Back to Content

In Portal, there are different kind of widgets, few widgets are for static data like, Date, Weather, etc. and few are for dynamic data like List, Card, Table. The dynamic data can be obtained from multiple sources like Tasks, Templates, Drafts, Links, Reports, Data Connections (these are present in Widget -> Select Widget Content).

Taking an example for the List widget, a List widget is added on the grid space from the Widgets tab. In Select Widget Content, the Data Connection option is selected, it brings the data from the Data Connection like SQL. On deploying the Portal, the list of items can be seen those are fetched from the SQL. Now if some actions are required to be done on the data the Actions and Variables are required. These can be found under, Content → Actions or Content → Variables. In Variables, the variables required are added.
