Hi,
I would like to present a user with a drop down list of sources on a Visio shape which are generated dynamically when the Visio file is launched in Cube. Is it possible to run an automation script when a Visio is launched that would update a Client side variable (CardVar?) that contains my list of sources?
Hi Jon, I'm curious... Do you need any specific actions to be done when the page opens or do you just need to get a parameter value placed into the session variable?
If you can just retrieve a parameter, I would suggest to take a look at the DM Help, explaining how to configure a page to update a session variable when another session variable changes. In the end of the page, it is important to use the option 'ExecuteSetsOnInit' if you want to perform the Execute each time the card is opened.
Note, that you can also use placeholders (param, regexreplace, etc.) in the value that will be set.
Hi Jon, if you use the Param placeholder to link to a column, you will retrieve all the values of that column.
[param:[this element],302]
Let’s say, the element has a column parameter 302, with two rows. The first row has value “East” in the cell, whereas the second row has “West”. The returned value will be “East|West”.
Thanks Jarno,
There’s a bug in 9.6.0.0-9175-CU13 where is returns Not initialized, we’ve confirmed it works in 10.1.2.0-9866
Hi Jarno, I would like an action to present a protocol tables column values to the user within a Visio shape. There are many Elements running the same protocol but they have different column values.
