How to Pass User Input as a Parameter to Web Service Data Source

Hey There,

I want to have a dashboard with two klips.  The first is a user input widget (text field) that sets a variable (let's call it "QueryString").  I second klip is a table that is retrieved from a web service data source (parsing xml response from a web service).  I want to pass QueryString to the GET web service that is being called to get the data for the second table.  So when the user types a new query string and clicks the submit button, the table below it will refresh based on the new query string.

What I can't figure out is how to pass the QueryString variable to one of the data source parameters.  Any help would be useful.

    Hi Shashi,

    Your data source query needs to include the variable set by your User Input control using the format {props.QueryString}. The curly braces and props keyword are required for the query to recognize that it is being passed a variable. For more details, please see our article on Dynamic Datasources

    Thanks,
