Variables

The Dynamic Text panel provides helpers to support variables.

To learn about three types of variables take a look at Variables.

Helper {{variable}}​

Returns a string array of the currently selected values for a certain variable.

{{variable "hostname"}}

<!-- result: ['server1', 'server2', 'server3']  -->

Check if a user is an admin​

To access nested variables, use curly brackets.

{{#if (contains (variable "{__user.login}") "admin")}}
  User is an admin
{{else}}
  User is not an admin
{{/if}}

Markdown list from variable​

Create a list from the multi select variable.

{{#each (variable "hostname")}}
  - {{this}}
{{/each}}

Dynamic templates using dashboard variables​

Use the lookup helper function to create dynamic templates based on dashboard variables.

The following template creates a key-value pair from every selected value in the props dashboard variable.

book:
{{#each (variable "props")}}
  {{this}}: {{lookup @root this}}
{{/each}}
