PARAM_TO_STRING_LINK

This element connects a parameter to a string to convert parameter values into strings. This means than whenever the 'from' parameter changes, the 'to' string takes the value specified by the link properties and the value of the parameter.

Note that it's also possible to use param.text_value attribute to access param value as string.

	value_format	Format of the 'value' fieldThe default format shows the value with one character for the decimal part, and positive values start with a blank	' .1'
	value_suffix	If the value is too small or too big, the system will use a suffix for the value, such as 'k' for kilo, 'M' for Mega, or 'm' for 'milli'	'false'
	significant_digits	Number of significant digits to display, forcing the system to perform roundingWith significant_digits set to 2, "45678" will be displayed as 46000, and "0.654" will be displayed as 0.65. Set this parameter to 0 to disable rounding	0

Examples

Here's a simple example of a param to string link:

We can often make it simpler, without creating a string and a link, just use param.text_value attribute.
