How to show a current value of a Tracked variable in a Dashboard?

Hi all,

Is it possible to show the current value of tracked variable as a single text label in a dashboard?

(So, not as a graph or an Histogram).

We tried to show this current value using a dynamic text. However this did not work.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Diederik

Hi @Diederik Bd ,

When we look at the dashboard and use the Dynamic text it all seems to work fine.
We linked the dynamic text to the TrackedVariable by using the sampler:

When running the model we can see the current value of the TrackedVariable:

Is this also what you see?

If not, are you able to post an (example) model where we can see what goes wrong?
Thanks,

Patrick

Hi @Patrick Zweekhorst ,

Thanks for your answer!

I have the same visual, but I am interested whether it is possible to show (only) the current value. In your example, I want to show only the current value: 2.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Hi @Diederik Bd ,

That is also possible, but just requires a few extra steps.

First add a model documentation to your dashboard.

Remove all the text that is in the model documentation.

Insert Dynamic Flexscript:

Add a line of code to print the tracked variable (like in the screenshot above).
I have also done these steps in the attached file.
