At DataBrain, we’re constantly innovating to make your analytics journey more seamless and intuitive. Today, we’re thrilled to introduce Dynamic Properties, a  feature that would make your embedding extremely seamless and natural.

What Are Dynamic Properties?

Dynamic Properties allow you to fetch and display live data directly within your metrics, offering  flexibility and context. Identified by the [x] icon in the metric creation interface, these properties dynamically retrieve values from your database, seamlessly adapting based on dashboard or metric filters.

Why It Matters

With Dynamic Properties, you can enrich your metrics and dashboards by embedding live, database-driven values into:

  • Titles: Provide contextual, up-to-date titles.
  • Axes: Change number formatting dynamically - like currency
  • Descriptions: Add precision to how metrics are understood.
  • Footnotes: Ensure critical context is always at hand.
  • Long Descriptions: Craft narratives that adapt to your data.

No more static descriptions or generic labels—Dynamic Properties empower you to deliver insights with precision and relevance.

How It Works

Embedding a dynamic property is as simple as using the [[property]] format. These placeholders automatically populate with the correct values based on the filters applied to your dashboards or metrics. Whether you’re tailoring insights for specific audiences or adding granularity to reports, this feature ensures that your analytics speak directly to the moment.
