In fPanels dashboards there are many places where text, colour and icons are displayed, such as panel headings and narrative panels. Many have a “data version” which only applies when the panel's required data has loaded.

This means that if data is slow to load, or does not load until a selection or filter is made, the standard text, colour and icon are displayed. As soon as data is available, the data version replaces the standard version.

This can be used for different reasons, for example:

• To highlight when a panel has data (by changing colour and/or icon)
• To prevent placeholder text (e.g. {DataGroup.Field}) from being shown before the corresponding data is ready

Text fields use placeholders to specify the data values to be included. Click in the text box and the placeholder selector will be displayed to the right.

Note that the data version is only shown when all required data is available, so if, for example, the heading has values from a different panel, that panel's data must also be available before the data version text can be displayed.
