Flashboard parameters

The parameters specified in the Custom Properties for the Data Visualization field.

For example, customizable=1

To use this parameter for a flashboard:

1. In Developer Studio, open the form.
2. Select the Data Visualization field that references the flashboard.
3. In the Properties tab, click Custom Properties, and enter the expression customizableparams= followed by the customizable options to display (in lowercase and separated by single spaces).

For example, if you enter the following line, users can customize only the chart title and chart type: 
customizableparams=charttitle charttype

Value indicating whether to display the user customization flashboard option on the chart:

• 0—Do not display the flashboard customization option
• 1—Display the flashboard customization option. If this option is enabled, users see a flashboard that contains a Customize Chart button and two fields that allow users to select the type of change and the value for the change. The customize options and values are:
• Chart Title—Any value.
• Chart Type—The values are:
  • Line Chart
  • Bar Chart
  • Stacked Bar Chart
  • Area Chart
  • Stacked Area Chart
  • Pie Chart
• Legend Title—Any value.
• X Axis label—Any value.
• Y Axis label—Any value.

A custom qualification you specify that overrides the qualification defined in the variable.

For example:

varcustomqual= varIndex1 : customQual1 : varIndex2 : customQual2

varcustomqual=0:'4'="Demo":1:'2'="User"

varindex begins its numbering sequence at 0, and the index is the position at which the variable appears on the Variables panel of the flashboard in Developer Studio.

Warning: If you set the varcustomqual parameter to empty (“”), it overrides customQual when you use both parameters at the same time. This can lead to unexpected results.

A qualification used for scheduled data. The values are varindex and historyqual, for example:

varhistoryqual=varindex1:historyqual1:varindex2:historyqual2

varindex is 0 to the number of variables in the flashboard, and the index is the position at which it appears on the Variables panel of the flashboard in Developer Studio. The history qualification can contain the following special fields:

• Value—The statistical value.
• SampleTime—The time at which the history sample was taken.
• PrimaryGBVal—The primary Group By value.
• SecondaryGBVal—The secondary Group By value (Even though this value is not plotted, one can still use it for qualifications, history, and summary).

For example:'SampleTime' > "10/10/2005" AND 'SampleTime' < "11/10/2005" AND 'PrimaryGBValue' = "john"

A qualification used for scheduled data. The values are varindex and summaryqual, for example:

varsummaryqual=varindex1: summaryqual1:varindex2:summaryqual2

varindex is 0 to the number of variables in the flashboard, and the index is the position at which it appears on the Variables panel of the flashboard in Developer Studio. The summary qualifications can contain:

• Value—The statistical value.
• PeriodStartTime—The starting time for the summary interval.
• PeriodEndTime—The ending time for the summary interval.
• PrimaryGBVal—The primary Group By value.
• SecondaryGBVal—The secondary Group By value.
