# Measures binding
To start binding dimensions and measures, click "Dimensions/Measures" 
toolbar button. Data panel with configured dimensions and measures will be opened along with the visualization template.
Data panel will show all the measures which have been added to the Data section of the properties panel.
Each dimension and measure contain “Label” button, which will allow you to bind dimension/measure label within the template.
Each measure, except the “Label” button, contains “Totals” button. It allows you to bind total calculated for the appropriate measure within the template. It makes sense to use “Totals” when constructing table-like templates.
To bind a measure/dimension with the appropriate cell, select a cell and click the appropriate measure/dimension. Or, if you prefer, drag the data item (dimension or measure) onto the template and drop it on the appropriate cell. In such a way you will bind your data assets (dimensions and measures) with the designed template.
The bonded item will become grey and the data asset item icon will change accordingly.
Click “Save” button to save changes.
Click “Preview” tab on the top of the component editor to preview the visualization.
To improve our visualization template, we should make some further steps - apply alignment, fonts and number formatting.
Switch back to the edit mode by clicking editor tab (with pencil icon before the template name – “New visualization” in our case).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.rbcgrp.com/getting-started-tutorial/measures-binding.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
