Hello,

I have been working on embedding a SRM timeline into a visio view and in doing so have been experimenting with the JSON ability to add filters and different sets of data.

for example, I have in the visio been setting SRMRESERVATIONS_YAxisResources:

{"Type":"custom","Name":"GROUP1","Background":"#ADC9CA","Height":"*","ItemHeight":"45","Filter":"(ReservationInstance.Properties.\"Booking Manager\"[String]=='Booking Manager') AND (ReservationInstance.Properties.ServiceName[String] contains 'GROUP1')"},{"Type":"custom","Name":"GROUP2","Background":"#ADC9CA","Height":"*","ItemHeight":"45","Filter":"(ReservationInstance.Properties.\"Booking Manager\"[String]=='Booking Manager') AND (ReservationInstance.Properties.ServiceName[String] contains 'GROUP2')"}

This works great and gives me the desired result, however it is not dynamic enough for us to use in multiple locations.

I was therefore hoping to create a script which can generate the different minified json strings that we need as above for different locations

the cardvariable SRMRESERVATIONS_YAxisResources is set as part of InitVar and also Execute on load so that the data is available for the timeline, however I have found that if I attempt to set a variable this way using a parameter form another element it does not work.

This may be expected behaviour but wanted to check if I am missing something obvious or if there is a better way of doing this for displaying the groups of data dynamically (or at least dynamically in the sense that they are using a parameter rather than being static in the visio -  I know that it will not change until a card is reopened etc).

Many thanks

Oliver
