Hi Team,  
We have the context variable option for device Id, Experience User  
but I need to pass the application Id and Experience User.  
Is that possible in Losant?  
If that possible just share some screen shot if any.

Thanks  
Sivasankari S

Hi @sivasankari_s2,

You should be able to create a [String Context Variable](https://docs.losant.com/dashboards/context-variables/#strings).

Could you provide some context into the problem you’re trying to solve? I’m curious as to why you need the Application ID inside of a Dashboard block.
