I’m testing out the test tool within a dasboard to switch between different experience users, but I do not see anything change. I’m testing with dashboard 5d8bac366cdb3e0006f14ed3

ok, so I think I figured out why it didn’t change.  
The dashboard block was using context variable ctx.deviceid-0 instead of ctx.experienceUser-0.  
When I changed that I can see data changing. Both users I tested with was only assigned to a group that would show one device.  
But for some reason the header of blocks having variable ctx.deviceId-0.name as part of the name, would not change.

with the ctx.deviceId-0.name variable in the block header, Yes, but that’s maybe because I’m using it incorrectly?

Hi Lars,

Is the ctx.deviceId-0.name variable not resolving to a device name, or is it not updating when you change to a new device (in the context menu)?

Thanks,  
Julia

It was not updating when I switched user.  
But the data in the graph changed.  
I ended up removing it from the headers.
