problem with dynamically positioning shapes based on table

Solved2.16K views12th September 2023dynamic position Visio xpos XPOS/YPOS

I’m having issues where the shapes are not appearing in the Visual Overview.
Following is what I did.

In the driver I added the ;xpos to the ColumnOption options.

In the visio I added two shapes for calibration with XPos and YPos values.  One is the top-left with values xpos=0 and ypos=1 and the other on the bottom-right with values xpos=16 and ypos=-1

And I added a shape with XPos = [param:*,103] and YPos = 0

Compared to similar Visios I think it’s correct.
I’m not sure how I can debug it.
Any help is welcome.

Ok, I found the problem. I was including the column parameter ID in the xpos instead of the table parameter ID.

There’s one thing left, and that’s showing the alarm color of the linked element.
I see it’s linking the shape to the element from the table, but it’s not showing the alarm color of that element.

Jeroen Geldhof [SLC] [DevOps Enabler] commented 12th September 2023

The way I got it fully working with the alarm color was by creating a grouped shape where the group has the XPos, YPos and Element=*
In the group I then have a Parameter shape with *|ALARM and that shape shows the element alarm color correctly.

Hi Jeroen, can you try setting the xpos of the calibration shape to 00 instead of 0?

I gave it a try, but that didn’t help

Hi Jeroen,
Did you add the ;ypos as a ColumnOption in the driver as well?

Jeroen Geldhof [SLC] [DevOps Enabler] commented 11th September 2023

Hi Matthijs,
Is this needed even if we will not use the ypos?

I tried adding the ypos in the connector, but that didn’t help

Matthijs Favorel [SLC] [DevOps Advocate] commented 11th September 2023

I’m not sure, I always used it with both the X and Y options.
