This content item displays data in columns or a combination of columns and lines.

Configure the following properties for this content item:

  • Follow asset context - When this is enabled:

    • If this content is in a dashboard, it uses the dashboard's asset context as the asset for asset stream ref data. For details, see Create a new dashboard.

    • If this content is in an experience, it uses the navigation item's asset reference as the asset for asset stream ref data. For details, see the Add content to a pane section in Add content to panes in your navigation items.

      This property only affects asset stream ref data; it has no effect if the content item is configured with stream data.

  • Follow time context - When this is enabled:

    • If this content is in a dashboard, it uses the dashboard's time context as the time range for the data it displays. For details, see Create a new dashboard.

    • If this content is in an experience, it uses the time selected in the time selector content item as the time range for the data it displays. For details, see Add a time selector.
