Dynamic options syntax structure
Dynamic options syntax (DOS) structure has several parts, each separated by a pipe ( | ).
| DOS part | What it does | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Data source | An originating data source, which can be a visualization data source such as a primary data source or visualization options such as sparklineValues. The location of your data sources, searches, and options for each search you create in the visual editor. |
Yes |
| Selector functions | Identifies the data from the data source associated with the visualization. A dynamic option can have one or multiple selector functions. | No |
| Formatting function | Formats the selected data. | Optional unless additional data formatting is needed. |
A typical DOS structure looks like the following:
Option: "> [data source] | [selector function(s)] | [formatting function]"
