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:

CODE
Option: "> [data source] | [selector function(s)] | [formatting function]"
