Using a text box type input

Visual settings

Data settings

The Input type of input lets you enter any string value and so is a flexible option for creating a filter. 

For example, imagine that we want to be able to use a table widget as a sort of placeholder in our Activeboard and be able to easily change the query that feeds it. We can add a text box type input to the Activeboard and use it for query entry. Say the input's ID is Input0. The query that feeds the table should be query(Input0.value).

The following video shows an example of how to use the text box type input.
