# Use a parameter as a widget title prefix

You can use a parameter as the prefix to a widget title.

**The parameter will always appear as a prefix. There is currently no way to use the parameter value in the middle of the widget title.**

1. In editing mode, click on the cog at the top right of the widget.
2. Select an existing parameter to prefix the widget title. The parameter must be a string parameter.
