Hi Pengf,
This is thoroughly explained in the help: see Linking a shape to an element parameter.
This is also mentioned in the Visual overview course.
You can do this with the Parameter shape data.
Case 1: Your Visual Overview is NOT linked to the element.
First step: Link a shape to an element with the Element shape data. The value should be the ID of the element or the name.
Case 2: Your Visual Overview is already linked to the element in question.
First step: Draw a shape. The element shape data will not be necessary here.
Final steps:
- Add an ‘*’ in your shape text
- Use the Parameter shape data and set its value to <column parameter ID>:<row key>. e.g. 101:1
And you’re all done! Your shape should now show the value of the table cell in question.
For more information on setting up a shape to link to a parameter (table or otherwise), you can check the help.
Hi,
You can do that by using the ‘Parameter’ shape data. You can reference the primary or display key of the row by making use of the ‘:’ for static values and ‘,’ for dynamic values. You can find examples in the DM Help. Of course, you need to link the shape also the element of interest.
Example: Get the value located in column with parameter ID ‘105’ and primary key ‘1’ from the current element.
Element : [this element]
Parameter : 105, 1
You can also use the ‘param’-placeholder to accomplish the same thing (ref. DM Help). [param:DmaID/ElementID,ParameterID,TableRow]
Kind Regards,
