I have a BloX action that triggers a change of filter to the latest date available. The Blox widget itself is loading the date that it needs to use. Is there a way I can execute this BloX Widgets Action when the widget or dashbaord loads or renders?
Hi jplefka ,
One alternative is to write a similar script in 'initialized' event of dashboard.
For example:
dashboard.on('initialized', function (se, ev) {
currentYear = new Date().getFullYear().toString()
datefilter = se.filters.$$items.find(el=>el.jaql.title == 'Date')
datefilter.jaql.filter = {
"explicit": true,
"multiSelection": true,
"members": [
currentYear
]
}
var filterOptions = {
save: true,
refresh: true,
}
se.filters.update(datefilter, filterOptions)
});-Hari
Thanks, this works great for changing the date filter, however it keeps clearing out preset background and locked filters that I have, is there a way I can stop that from happening?
jplefka If you have background filter set, try below script:
dashboard.on('initialized', function (se, ev) {
currentYear = new Date().getFullYear().toString()
filter = se.filters.$$items.find(el=>el.jaql.title == 'Date')
backgroundfilter = filter.jaql.filter.filter
defaultValue = 'West'
filter.jaql.filter = {
"explicit": true,
"multiSelection": true,
"filter":backgroundfilter,
"members": [
currentYear
]
}
var filterOptions = {
save: true,
refresh: true,
}
se.filters.update(filter, filterOptions)
});
