Bind a Parameter to a Reference Line or Band

You can bind a parameter to a visualization's reference line or band's date value or date range when you want to use a parameter value to place the reference line or band on the visualization.

When you bind a parameter to a reference line or band, you can add the same parameter as a dashboard filter so that the user can enter a date value or range to control the placement of a visualization's reference line or band.

See Add Reference Lines to Visualizations.
