Edits to script for changing widget values by buttons

Question

I followed the instructions in this post... https://community.sisense.com/t5/knowledge-base/changing-measures-in-the-entire-dashboard-using-blox-user/tac-p/26261#M3953

It works great but I've been trying to modify this to work on a line chart (widget.type == 'lineChart' in the SwitchMeasure action) -- I don't want an indicator widget on the dashboard -- and I just can't get it to work without including an indicator widget. The line chart changes between 3 values perfectly without the indicator widget type but the buttons won't show the designated selected color when I click on them w/out the indicator widget in the dashboard. Anyone have some ideas? My javascript is beginner level if that. Thanks for any help!

Hey NancySummit ,

Thanks for sharing the feedback.
Please find a dash file with possible solution and related action.

Create the action - the action is for switching the first column in Pie/Line/Column/Area/Bar chart
Update the dashboard Script with related OID and Color - the dashboard script is for keeping the selected color after refresh the dashboard
Update the related Widget OID/OID's in the Blox

Example

Hope this will resolve the issue

Best regards

Wow that works great!! And much simpler. Thank you so much! Now I need know if I can show TWO measures at one time on a chart -- like Revenue AND Profit in your example. I'm guessing that needs to be a separate post? Thanks again!!

Well, as SOON as I posted that reply to you it occurred to me to edit the line chart widget script and change all instances of widget.metadata.panels[0].items[0].jaql.title == to widget.metadata.panels[1].items[0].jaql.title == and it looks like that fixed it... The buttons are correctly cycling through the colors. Does that sound correct to you? That the target widget panels[] needs to be adjusted to the type of widget it is? Thank you!

Hey NancySummit , The Action Shared in the Community article should work for Line Chart as well without the need of readjusting the Action or even if there's not an Indicator. In the Blox Action there's a differentiate between Indicator or the rest of the Widget types. The Sisense widgets has different panels for Rows, Measures, Columns, Filters. the Panels Can be different between Widget types. Indicator widgets doesn't have Rows/Group by so the measure switcher Code refer to the Panels[0].items[0] which is the Primary indicator. For Other widget types, such as Column Chart, Bar Chart, Line Chart, Area Chart - the Panels[1].items[0] refer to the First measure as present below. Therefore, it's not require additional adjustment for Line Chart and it shall work. For the Buttons to Display, can you please share an example of the related issue? Best Regards fyi DRay
