  1. Why do we have dynamic attribute in controls?

We need dynamic attributes in analytic controls to allow users the ability to get dynamic results based on the values they enter at runtime


For eg:

  1. User would want to know all inactive users per department and with the dynamic attribute feature, we can search for the users belonging to a specific department at runtime


  1. How can we define dynamic attributes in controls?

We can define dynamic attributes a control query as below where city,street,departmentname are the dynamic attributes

select username,owner from users where city = '${city}' and street = '${street}' and departmentname='${departmentname}' and statuskey=0;

Clicking on save opens up Add Attribute pop up where we can add definition for each attribute and save


  1. Which type of controls support dynamic attributes?

V1 and V2 controls “Based on SQL Query” and “Runtime controls”


  1. How many dynamic attributes can we use in a control?

We can use as many we want to depending on the need


  1. What are the type of dynamic attributes supported?

String, Number, Enum, Multiple select from list and SQL query


  1. Can we define default values for dynamic attributes?

Yes, on the default values text box right next to Values text box in Add Dynamic Attribute pop up


  1. Where can we see the dynamic attributes in control show page?

We can see it under Other Attributes section in control show page



  1. Can we edit existing dynamic attributes?

Yes, except the name of dynamic attribute, we have the ability to update all other attribute fields


  1. How can we edit/pass a new value to the dynamic attribute at runtime?

When we click on “Run Now” on the runtime control, below window opens to edit/add new values to the dynamic attributes. Once attributes are updated, clicking on Run Control to run the control to retrieve desired results based on values entered in attributes



  1. What’s new in 5.5.sp2?

We have added a Freshdesk link on Add Dynamic attribute pop up when clicked will take you to the freshdesk documentation on how to use different type of dynamic attributes

Can we pull values also dynamically? For example - city to be pulled dynamically from user's some Customproperty
