Hi All
We now have the new Media Kind RX1 protocol to replace the RX8200, with the RX8200 IRD we displayed C/N Margin in a visio linked to a child shape that used Element>Parameter to display the value.
Now with the RX1 protocol there are 4 IRDs in one and the info is held in a table.
Question is, does anyone know the best way to extract the info for each IRD and put into a similar child shape to display on a visio with all the others on a single child shape for each IRD?
All we need is IRD Name and C/N Margin figure.
I have attached an image of an existing child shape to show what I am trying to get to
Thanks
Hi Ryan,
You have to create a shape data called Parameter which has the following blueprint if you want to show a table cell:
ParameterID:TableRowKey|Options
Example: If you have a table with channels and a column “Channel number” which has parameter ID 103, then you can use for instance “103:CNN” to show the number for channel CNN.
You can check the documentation: Linking a shape to an element parameter
You can also check a video course: Element Shape
Hope this helps you further
Hi Ryan,
You can also use the Parameter shape data to extract the values from a table by providing the row key, as explained in our documentation here.
For example, in the shape data “ParameterID:TableRowKey”, ParameterID is the column’s id of the Name or CN information, and TableRowKey is the display or primary key of the row you want to present.
Hi Ryan, please be aware it’s also possible to dynamically create a shape based on a table row. Refer to Generating shapes based on table rows | DataMiner Docs.
