Screen Fields

Last updated 11/03/2025

Screen fields can be added to a data view and these fields can then be used to filter the returned results if you are using a query as your data source. The parameters need to be defined in your query using the

variable

property on the

Five

object, example

{{five.variable.variableName}}

.

Five will list any parameters you have in your selected data source and list them in the Linked Parameter field for you to select. Once a parameter has been selected Five will handle linking your screen field to your query field.
