Modifying Sisense Widgets With PySisense Overview A chart widget's metadata, including the dimension driving its category axis and the measures driving its values, lives inside the widget's own JSON definition rather than on a separate settings screen. Changing one, through the widget's Edit panel, can be done quickly. Mass modifying the same field across many widgets, or repeating the same change every time a dashboard is rebuilt from a template, is not something the Sisense UI is built to do in bulk. This article describes swap_widget_dimension.py , a Python command-line tool that reads a Sisense chart widget, replaces the field used by one item on a named panel, and writes the result back using the pySisense library. By default it targets the categories panel, a bar chart's category axis, but the same get_widget_by_id and update_widget calls apply to any panel in the widget's metadata.panels structure, including values , so the tool also works for swapping a measure. The worked example throughout is a bar chart with two versions on a dashboard that differ only in their measure: one totals Revenue, the other totals Cost. The script changes only the field of one panel item on one widget per run. It is meant primarily as an example, and can be adapted to cover other widget attributes as needed. The full source is available on GitHub in this repository . About PySisense PySisense is a Python SDK for the Sisense REST API, installed via pip . It provides wrappers around common Sisense operations and handles authentication, session management, and request errors internally. This script uses three methods from pySisense's Dashboard class: get_widget_by_id , which retrieves a widget's full current definition; update_widget , which writes a modified definition back and strips the fields Sisense manages internally ( oid , owner , created , and so on) before sending the request; and, through Dashboard 's access_mgmt attribute, get_my_user , which identifies the Sisense user the API token belongs to. Note: The current release of PySisense on PyPI does not yet include get_widget_by_id , update_widget , or find_widgets_by_type . This functionality is planned for the next PySisense release. The development branch of the PySisense repository already contains it and can be installed directly from there: pip install "git+https://github.com/sisense/pysisense.git@dev" How a chart widget stores its fields A Sisense chart widget's configuration lives under metadata.panels , a list of panel objects. For a bar chart, the panel named categories holds the dimension shown on the category axis, and the panel named values holds the measures. Each panel has an items list, and each item carries a jaql object identifying one field, with table , column , and dim keys ( dim in the form [Table.Column] ), plus a title and other fields, such as datatype or agg , that vary by field type. Panel names and item order can differ by widget type and by how a chart was originally built, so it's worth confirming the structure on the specific widget being changed rather than assuming it. Running the script with --show prints a widget's current panels for exactly this purpose, before anything is changed: python swap_widget_dimension.py --show Prerequisites Python 3.10 or later pySisense (for now, currently the dev branch, this will be merged into the main branch shortly) and PyYAML Network access to the Sisense instance A Sisense API token: Admin > REST API > v1.0 > GET /authentication/tokens/api Only a dashboard's owner can write to its widgets. If the API token's user does not own the dashboard being changed, use a token belonging to the dashboard's owner, or transfer ownership first with pySisense's change_dashboard_owner . Setup pip install "git+https://github.com/sisense/pysisense.git@dev" pyyaml Create a config.yaml with the Sisense instance details, the widget to change, and the field to switch to: sisense:
domain: https://your-instance.sisense.com
token: YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE
is_ssl: true
widget:
dashboard_id: YOUR_DASHBOARD_ID
widget_id: YOUR_WIDGET_ID
dimension:
table: Commerce
column: Region
title: Region Run with --show first to confirm the widget has the panel expected, then continue with the sequence in Usage. Configuration reference sisense.domain , sisense.token , sisense.is_ssl : connection details for the Sisense instance. widget.dashboard_id , widget.widget_id : the widget to change. Both can be overridden for a single run with --dashboard-id and --widget-id without editing config.yaml . widget.admin_access : left unset by default, which auto-detects the right setting (see Troubleshooting below). Set to true or false , or pass --admin-access or --no-admin-access , only to skip that auto-detection. dimension.panel : the metadata.panels entry to change. categories for a bar chart's category axis, values for its measures. Defaults to categories if unset. Can be overridden with --panel . dimension.table , dimension.column , dimension.title : the new field to apply. table and column identify it; title is the label shown on the widget and defaults to column when omitted. All three can be overridden with --table , --column , and --title . Usage Inspect the widget's current panels before changing anything: python swap_widget_dimension.py --show Preview the change without writing it: python swap_widget_dimension.py Apply the change: python swap_widget_dimension.py --apply If the result is not correct, revert to the widget's prior state: python swap_widget_dimension.py --undo Troubleshooting Whether adminAccess is needed depends on ownership, not the Sisense version. get_widget_by_id can fail with a schema validation error mentioning adminAccess , on Sisense instances that reject the parameter outright, or with a permission error, on instances that require it for a widget the API token's user doesn't own. Rather than have the caller guess which applies, the script tries without admin access first, and only retries with admin access if that fails. It also prints a line identifying the token's user and whether that user owns the widget, so the reason either attempt succeeded is visible. --admin-access and --no-admin-access are still available to force one path and skip the auto-detection. Worked example: swapping a measure from Revenue to Cost A dashboard can have two versions of the same bar chart widget that differ only in their values panel, one totaling Commerce.Revenue , the other Commerce.Cost . Pointing the script at the Revenue widget and targeting the values panel swaps it to Cost, keeping its sum aggregation intact: python swap_widget_dimension.py \
--dashboard-id YOUR_DASHBOARD_ID --widget-id YOUR_WIDGET_ID \
--panel values --table Commerce --column Cost --title "Total Cost" \
--apply Running --show against the widget beforehand returns: {
"table": "Commerce",
"column": "Revenue",
"dim": "[Commerce.Revenue]",
"datatype": "numeric",
"columnTitle": "Revenue",
"tableTitle": "Commerce",
"agg": "sum",
"title": "Total Revenue"
} and after --apply : {
"table": "Commerce",
"column": "Cost",
"dim": "[Commerce.Cost]",
"datatype": "numeric",
"columnTitle": "Cost",
"tableTitle": "Commerce",
"agg": "sum",
"title": "Total Cost"
} table , column , dim , columnTitle , tableTitle , and title all changed to Cost; datatype and the sum aggregation in agg carried over unchanged, exactly as build_new_jaql is designed to do. Common use cases Reusing one chart across dashboard variants A bar chart that should show a different measure, or a different category dimension, on each of several dashboards can be built once and adjusted per dashboard with a single command instead of being rebuilt in the widget editor each time. Correcting a field after templating Dashboards built from a template sometimes carry the template's placeholder field. Rather than reopening every affected widget by hand, each one can be pointed at the correct field directly. Working with more than one item on a panel A widget with more than one item on the panel being changed, such as a grouped bar chart with two category dimensions, needs --match-column to identify which one to replace: python swap_widget_dimension.py --apply --match-column Category Full option reference usage: swap_widget_dimension.py [-h] [--config FILE] [--dashboard-id ID]
[--widget-id ID] [--panel PANEL]
[--table TABLE] [--column COLUMN]
[--title TITLE] [--match-column COLUMN]
[--show] [--apply] [--undo]
[--backup-file FILE] [--admin-access |
--no-admin-access]
Swap the field used by one item on a Sisense chart widget panel.
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--config FILE Path to config.yaml.
--dashboard-id ID Overrides widget.dashboard_id from config.yaml.
--widget-id ID Overrides widget.widget_id from config.yaml.
--panel PANEL Name of the metadata.panels entry to change, for
example categories (a bar chart's category axis) or
values (its measures). Overrides dimension.panel from
config.yaml. Defaults to 'categories' if neither is
set.
--table TABLE Overrides dimension.table from config.yaml.
--column COLUMN Overrides dimension.column from config.yaml.
--title TITLE Overrides dimension.title from config.yaml.
--match-column COLUMN
Column name of the item to replace within --panel, if
it has more than one item. Defaults to the first item.
--show Print the widget's current metadata.panels and exit.
Use this to confirm panel names and item order before
swapping anything.
--apply Write the change to Sisense. Without this flag, only a
preview is printed.
--undo Restore the widget to the state recorded in --backup-
file, then exit.
--backup-file FILE Where the widget's prior state is saved before a
change, and read back from during --undo.
--admin-access Always fetch with adminAccess=true, skipping auto-
detection. Needed when the API token's user does not
own the widget.
--no-admin-access Always fetch without adminAccess=true, skipping auto-
detection. Needed on Sisense instances that reject
adminAccess as an unrecognized query parameter. Use case Using swap_widget_dimension.py instead of manual widget edits offers several advantages: Applies a field change to a widget directly through its JSON definition, without opening the widget editor Works on either a chart's category dimension or its measures, through the same --panel option Provides a way to confirm a widget's panel structure with --show before any change is made Auto-detects whether admin access is needed, rather than requiring the caller to know their token's relationship to the widget in advance Provides a backup of the widget's prior state before every applied change, with --undo to restore it Demonstrates how pySisense's get_widget_by_id and update_widget can be used together to read, modify, and write back any field in a widget's definition, not only its dimension Summary swap_widget_dimension.py gives Sisense administrators and developers a way to change the field used by a chart widget's category axis or its measures from the command line, with a preview step, a way to inspect the widget's actual structure first, auto-detection of whether admin access is needed, and a backup that makes any applied change reversible. The same get_widget_by_id and update_widget pattern used here, fetch the widget, modify the field that needs to change, write it back, applies to other widget fields beyond the ones shown in this example. """swap_widget_dimension.py: swap the field used by one item on a Sisense chart widget panel.
Reads a widget with ``Dashboard.get_widget_by_id()``, replaces the field used
by one item in a named ``metadata.panels`` entry, such as ``categories`` (a
bar chart's category axis) or ``values`` (its measures), and writes the
result back with ``Dashboard.update_widget()``. "Dimension" is used loosely
here, the way most readers of this script will mean it: the field dropped
into that panel, whether it is technically a dimension or a measure. This is
a worked example of pySisense's widget read and write functions, not a
general purpose widget editor: it changes one field on one panel item on one
widget per run, and does not touch anything else on the widget.
Note: get_widget_by_id, update_widget, and find_widgets_by_type are not yet
in the pySisense release on PyPI. Install from the dev branch to use this
script:
pip install "git+https://github.com/sisense/pysisense.git@dev"
Usage
-----
python swap_widget_dimension.py --show # print the widget's panels, change nothing
python swap_widget_dimension.py # preview the swap, change nothing
python swap_widget_dimension.py --apply # write the change to Sisense
python swap_widget_dimension.py --undo # restore from the backup file
python swap_widget_dimension.py --panel values --apply # swap a measure instead of the category axis
Whether a widget fetch needs adminAccess=true depends on whether the API
token's own user already owns the widget. Rather than requiring the caller
to know that in advance, fetch_widget() below tries without admin access
first and only escalates if that fails.
