BloX Metadata Changer List

[intapiuser]

BloX actions allow for a user to attach a script to be executed on a click of a button. A popular use case that has gained a lot of usage recently, has been meta data changing with BloX actions. These actions change an existing widget’s panel items, panel granularity when items are dates, filters, or general settings. In short, these actions modify an existing widget’s metadata.

Metadata Context

These are the panels that are referenced in the solutions below:

Panel 1:
Includes categories for the visualization

Panel 2:
Includes the values for the visualization

Panel 3:
Includes the column or break-by of a chart

Panel 4:
Usually refers to the widget filter

Date Granularity:
If items in panel 1 or 3 include dates then date granularity - in the example Y stands for the years granularity.
