When you click the title bar (or the ellipsis menu and select Properties), a panel open on the right side with the following tabs:

Data

ID

✔️ Text input
✔️ Select input

This is a unique name for the input used for internal calls, such as referring to data in the input from a widget (see Calling an input value from a widget). It is auto-generated and cannot be modified.

Name

✔️ Text input
✔️ Select input

The name of the input. This is the friendly name that appears in the input title bar in the Activeboard.

Description

✔️ Text input
✔️ Select input

A meaningful description assigned to the input to tell about its content.

Data source(select inputs)

Text input
✔️ Select input

This is the query that feeds data to the input. Click the Edit button to open the Query Editor, where you can edit and update the input's query script.

Custom date range(select inputs)

Text input
✔️ Select input

(Optional) Toggle on this option to set a date range for the input that overrides the date range set for the Activeboard. Inputs with a custom date range show the calendar icon next to the title. Learn more about setting time ranges here.

Load data on demand

Text input
✔️ Select input

(Optional) When this option is enabled, the input will retrieve data only when manually prompted. Enabling this option will improve performance, which enhances your work session by ensuring that resources are utilized only where and when you need them.

Upon accessing the Activeboard, inputs that have a query as their data source are empty and display a message explaining why, along with a button to manually fetch data. Inputs with this option enabled will remain unaffected by the Active refresh.

This has implications when exporting the Activeboard to PDF but will work fine when scheduling Activeboard reports.
