### Repeat
Repeat a panel for each value of a variable. Repeating panels are described in more detail [here]({{< relref "../../reference/templating.md#repeating-panels" >}}).
### Data link

Available built-in variables are:
1. ``__all_variables`` - will add all current dashboard's variables to the URL
2. ``__url_time_range`` - will add current dashboard's time range to the URL (i.e. ``?from=now-6h&to=now``)
3. ``__series_name`` - will add series name as a query param in the URL (i.e. ``?series=B-series``)
4. ``__value_time`` - will add datapoint's timestamp (Unix ms epoch) to the URL (i.e. ``?time=1560268814105``)
#### Template variables in data links
