Description

Available properties and axes (for inserting dynamic parts)

Lists all properties and axes that are currently available in the document. The available axis properties depend on the visualization type. See Visualization Properties in Expressions for more information about the available axis properties.

Note: If one or more of the visualization properties that should be available for a certain visualization type is missing from the list, it is probably just because you have not defined any value for that axis yet. For example, the Axis.Color.DisplayName option will show up in the list when you have specified something under Color by in the visualization
