I have a chassis with 10 slots which can contain an IP, SDI, or Compute Blade card.
In Visio each slot type has a dedicated page (Slot_IP, Slot_SDI, and Slot_Compute Blase). A shape is created for each slot. The shape will load the correct embedded page based on the value in the Type column of the Slots table.
Now I need the Slot number as a variable on the different slot pages so that I can link the KPIs to the correct element data. How can I do this?
Hi Jens,
Would it be an option to not use separate VdxPages and to use the Visual Overview feature to generate shapes dynamically from table rows? (see DataMiner Help)
This way you would be able to use the [displaytableIndex] or [tableIndex] keywords to know which slot you are in.
For the xpos and ypos, you could try to use the actual slot Id, potentially with some adjustments if needed, and the other should be fixed value since the slots are all vertically aligned
I don’t believe this is possible at the moment for embedded pages. It’s a nice request though, so feel free to suggest it.
We do have support for passing a value to a newly openen card though using the NewCardVariable option (see help).
Hi João, I was hoping for a solution where I don’t have to update the connector to add the xpos and ypos options to my table. This approach will work for now. Thank you!
