Hi Folk

yesterday I managed to get my first NR program running and visualized on the dashboard.

Now I want to change some of my switch rules / parameters via the dashboard.

Example: The swich is deciding wether the Input is higher than 50 or lower/even than 49.

I want to be able to change these margins via an dashboard input.

Do you can give any hint, how I can manage this or where somebody got an answer on an comparable question?

Shure, I searched via the net, but found no answer...

Thanks a lot!

You can set the switch property or rule to a context var (flow/global), you can then update this property via the dashboard.
