How to display a string field value on a dashboard?

[sgodinho]

Hello all,

I was wondering if there is a way to essentially print a field value (description) on a dashboard? I have an interactive filter to select a project. All project graphs and numbers on this dashboard populate by following the interactive filter. I was wondering if anyone might also know how we can add project description to the view?

Thanks in advance!

Depending on the report you should be able to do this. Are you able to provide what kind of report you're looking at?

For example on Change, you can create a list report with the number and any list view reports

Please mark helpful or correct if I have provided useful information.

Hi Shelby, thank you for your quick reply!

I did have the list report in mind, but some of the records have longer descriptions, and we would like to be able to read the entire description in the same view. Here is a screenshot of a mockup with dummy data from my PDI:

I'm not picky about the type of report we use, but wanted to know if creating block text that responds to the interactive filter like this was possible. The text displayed above is currently in a static HTML block for the sake of visualization.

I also thought it was kind of funny that this would actually be the most difficult of the tasks to set this dashboard up! Hah!

Haha that is surprising! I'm testing out a few other things but all I can think of right now is that the description you can actually hover over to read more I believe.
