Description

Title

When the ${AutoTitle} option is used, the title of a visualization changes when you configure the visualization differently.

An alternative option is to enter a title of the visualization in the field.

Tip: Double-click the title bar of the visualization, and type a new title.

Edit...

Opens the Edit Title dialog where you can add properties to the title so that it changes with a selection. For example, you may want the visualization title to change depending on the columns or expressions you specify on the axes. See Titles and Descriptions Overview for some examples.

Example:
"${Axis.Y.DisplayNames} over ${Axis.X.DisplayNames}"

If you specify the example above as the title and then select Avg(Sales) on the value axis, and Year on the category axis, the visualization title will be displayed as "Avg(Sales) over Year".
