Tying things together with bindings
What are bindings in CRMA? Bindings are used to pass values between steps and widgets—that is, parameterizing values for dynamic values and selections. Example use cases include the following:
- Dynamic reference lines
- Dynamic groupings
- Dynamic measures
- Dynamic sort
- Dynamic chart types
There are two types of bindings to consider. First, selection binding is used to update a query based on the selection in another query, such as choosing a date range via a toggle widget. Second, results binding is used to update a query based on the results of another query, such as using a calculated value from a case statement to bucket your data.
CRMA is slowly moving away from requiring code to create bindings, but many use cases still require development work in the JSON, as you will see in the following section.

We're now going to talk about JSON. You may be familiar with JSON, but perhaps...
