We started some tests on adding dashboards in Visio.
Open questions :
- The visio file is linked to the protocol, can the element be dynamic with "*" instead of fixed element ? The dashboard should be dynamic on each selected element.
- Adding the URL in Visio is embedding the whole dashboard, not only the selected dashboard. The user can see all configuration.
- Adding visio into the dashboard, it is not possible to select a subpage. The page-1 os not loaded.
Hi Kris,
In order to make it dynamic, the first step is make your dashboard dynamic by using a feed. I understand from your post that the context of both your Visio and dashboard is 'an element' from a certain protocol, so as a first step, in the dashboard, I would add a dropdown component and fill it with 'all elements' and then add the specific protocol as 'a filter'. This way, your dropdown should list all the elements of that protocol. The other components in your dashboard should then link to the dropdown 'Elements' feed in a way that they use it as their element (for example linking to 'protocol parameter' in combination with 'element feed'.
In your Visio file you can use placeholders like [this elementID] in your url so that the correct elementID is passed as initial value for the dropdown in the dashboard.
This could be the first step to see if the linking works well. Typically you don't want to have that dropdown of elements in your dashboard. If that is the case, you can remove the dropdown and use the 'url' feed instead. That one is always available and looks to what arguments are available in the url.
Very valid point Ben, this requires indeed a more detailed explanation.
Here is a link on where this has been discussed already:
https://community.dataminer.services/question/compression-method-used-for-dashboard-url/?hilite=dashboard+url
And we have this documented in our docs as well: https://docs.dataminer.services/user-guide/Advanced_Modules/Dashboards_app/Using_dashboard_feeds/Specifying_data_input_in_a_dashboard_URL.html#json-syntax
Hi Kris - if you take the URL, don't take it from the browser, go to Share (three dots on the top right) and take the URL from there, and use the EMBED option. That will remove the chrome.
This works !
Now the dynamic link with “*” and the page view.
Thanks
For that you need that uncompressed URL probably Pieter?
