Expressions let you reference dynamic values, like the current timeframe or dashboard variable, directly within a tile. They're especially powerful when building custom integrations with the Web API data source. To make them easier to use, we've added a new
{ }
button wherever expressions are supported.
How to use it
  1. Look for the
    { }
    button in any field that supports expressions.
  2. Click it to browse available expressions and access the full documentation.
  3. Select an expression to insert it into the field.
  4. For example, you can use
    {{timeframe.start}}
    and
    {{timeframe.end}}
    in a query to dynamically reference the dashboard's selected time range.
Tip: If your dashboard includes a variable, you'll see additional expressions available to insert.
