How to Use the SwitchDimension Add-On
I am trying to create a line chart for which users can select the 'Break by' dimension. The user should be able to select whether to break out the line chart by choosing 1 of 2 different text fields. Each text field has a handful of different values.
I have enabled the 'SwitchDimension' add-on in the Admin settings. It is running on version 1.0.8.
I have had difficulty finding documentation on how to use this add-on. I think the technical details found here are the right instructions, but I'm not sure. When I follow those instructions, and use the below script in the widget, nothing happens. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, can someone help?
prism.registerSwitchDimension({
widget: widget,
maxItemsBeforeSubMenuIsCreated: 5, //optional
dimensions: [
{
panel: 'break by',
affectAllWidgets: true, //optional (true|false)
dims: [
{
"index": 0,
"dim": "[everly_workitemdays_view.applied_rate_class]",
"datatype": "text",
"title": "Applied Rate Class" //optional
//"widgetTitleTemplate": "" //optional
},
{
"index": 0,
"dim": "[everly_workitemdays_view.approved_rate_class]",
"datatype": "text",
"title": "Approved Rate Class" //optional
//"widgetTitleTemplate": "" //optional
}
]
}
]
});
Hi mmalhame ,
I tried the same script in a line chart (just replacing the dimensions with those from my table), and it worked as expected. Here are a few things you might want to double-check:
Field Names: Ensure that the dimension fields you’re using in your script are correct and match exactly with those in your dataset.
Break By Dimension: Make sure you’ve added the “Break By” dimension in the line chart.
Also check if there is any error showing in the browser console.
Here is the script I used:prism.registerSwitchDimension({ widget: widget, maxItemsBeforeSubMenuIsCreated: 5, //optional dimensions: [ { panel: 'break by', affectAllWidgets: true, //optional (true|false) dims: [ { "index": 0, "dim": "[Commerce.Age Range]", "datatype": "text", "title": "Applied Rate Class" //optional //"widgetTitleTemplate": "" //optional }, { "index": 0, "dim": "[Commerce.Condition]", "datatype": "text", "title": "Approved Rate Class" //optional //"widgetTitleTemplate": "" //optional } ] } ] });Result:
