Monitoring status for elements in a Dataminer Visual display

Solved1.28K views19th July 2023Visio

Paul Camus [DevOps Member]120 17th March 2021 0 Comments

Hello, we have a number of elements that report their status, in a Visio-driven display on Dataminer, with a small colour block to the left side of the shape (representing the monitored state), followed by the parameter name and that parameter's monitoring status. (see example below)

  1. I would like to understand what prompts Dataminer to create such a display, rather that the usual overall single colour block?
  2. Is there a way to override this display do that Dataminer just provides a single colour that fills the shape and represents the monitoring status? (as would happen on other occasions)
  3. Where can I change the text size / colour that gets shown within the small status box in this monitoring scenario? (remembering that the Visio behind this is just a single shape with no '*' wild card where text size/colour would normally be defined)
  4. Can additional text be added?

Hi Paul,

Your best reference is to go to the help and search for "Overview of DataMiner shape data fields" were you find a complete list of "Shape data", which in turn drives the display behavior.

I also recommend the following video library:

Visio Archives - DataMiner Dojo

and for specifics on DataMiner stencils

DataMiner Inspire - The New DataMiner Stencils & Style Guide - DataMiner Dojo

Hi Roger, thank you for your reply. I will review the info that you supplied.
One question, would it be the fact that a Visio shape is linked to a ‘paramiter’ or perhaps to a ‘Data Display Page’ that prompts Dataminer to change the standard colour-fill behaviour of a Visio shape to instead populate the shape with text?

The shape data from my example Vision is as below (the shape shown in my DOJO question) ;
Element : AWS Media Connect
DataDisplayPage : FLOWS
ParameterControl : 507:*text*

The Visio shape is blank, it contains no text.

This seems to be parameters from a table - See example below
