Activeboard inputs
Inputs are Activeboard elements that let you apply filters to data in your Activeboard's widgets. The values you specify in an input are automatically inserted in the widget's query, which allows you to easily display different data in your widgets. Currently, there are two types of inputs available:
- Input - Creates a free-text field in the Activeboard.
- Select - Creates a drop-down list with a limited set of values. The list of values available can be either fixed or the result of a query.
The following video is an introduction to inputs:
