Visio – [Param] in element shape data not working on shapes generated via table row

Amber Rowe [DevOps Advocate]457 14th November 2024 0 Comments

Displaying rows based on an element's parameter table.

Main Shape
Children - Row
ChildrenSource - DataTable/200
Options - NoSelectionFilters

Child Shape
ChildType - Row
Options - NoAlarmColorFill

Data inside of Child Shape - (issue)

* wildcard

Element: [Param:[This card objectID],208,[ParentDisplayTableIndex]] Options: AllowInheritance=False
Info: Name

And this doesn't display anything at all

But I can confirm that [ParentDisplayTableIndex], [This card objectID], and parameter 208 separately display the correct things

What am I missing here? I would be grateful for any help! 🙂

Hi Amber,

Are you sure that you need the ParentDisplayTableIndex? This is typically used in when hierarchical shapes are created dynamically based on rows in a table (ref. Docs: [ParentDisplayTableIndex]). If this is the case, make sure to also use the option 'AllowCustomIndex', as indicated here: Making a shape use a different index than that of the original row.

From what I can see, you have the 'normal' situation where you are creating shapes on just one table. In that case, maybe you can just use this placeholder: [displaytableindex]? I assume you have an element named "DataTable"?

Kind Regards,
Jarno

Hi! When I just do:

Data inside of Child Shape – (issue)
* wildcard

Element: [Param:[This card objectID],208,[DisplayTableIndex]]
Options: AllowInheritance=False
Info: Name

It still doesn't return anything

and when I took out the Options: AllowInheritance=False

It just returns the element name of the current table.

Yes I have an element called "DataTable"

So I have the DataTable element that has a table in it – and the 208 column has a list of ElmentIDs – And I'm trying to generate the name linked to those ElementIDs on each row of the dynmanic shapes I've generated on a different view to the DataTable element.

Jarno Lernou [SLC] [DevOps Enabler] commented 14th November 2024

Hi Amber, Does the column 208 only have one element ID or multiple?

Amber Rowe [DevOps Advocate] commented 14th November 2024

just the one element ID – it should look like this "16613/390"
