Relative Date Filter in Blox

[intapiuser]

Part 1: Preparation And Setup

1. Download the BloX Template Here
2. Import the Template into BloX (tutorial here)
3. Create an action called "RelativeDate"
4. Add the code below to the action and save it.

if (payload.text == "Year" ) {

 

prism.activeDashboard.filters.$$items[0].jaql.level = "years";

prism.activeDashboard.filters.$$items[0].jaql.filter.last.count = 1;

prism.activeDashboard.filters.$$items[0].jaql.filter.last.offset = 0;

 

} else if (payload.text == "Qtr" ) {

 

prism.activeDashboard.filters.$$items[0].jaql.level = "quarters";

prism.activeDashboard.filters.$$items[0].jaql.filter.last.count = 1;

prism.activeDashboard.filters.$$items[0].jaql.filter.last.offset = 0;

 

}  else if (payload.text == "Month" ) {

 

prism.activeDashboard.filters.$$items[0].jaql.level = "months";

prism.activeDashboard.filters.$$items[0].jaql.filter.last.count = 1;

prism.activeDashboard.filters.$$items[0].jaql.filter.last.offset = 0;

 

} else if (payload.text == "LastMonth" ) {

 

prism.activeDashboard.filters.$$items[0].jaql.level = "months";

prism.activeDashboard.filters.$$items[0].jaql.filter.last.count = 1;

prism.activeDashboard.filters.$$items[0].jaql.filter.last.offset = 1;

 

}  else if (payload.text == "Week" ) {

 

prism.activeDashboard.filters.$$items[0].jaql.level = "weeks";

prism.activeDashboard.filters.$$items[0].jaql.filter.last.count = 1;

prism.activeDashboard.filters.$$items[0].jaql.filter.last.offset = 0;

 

} 

 

//Add widgetsIDs that you would like to update

var widgets = ['5efb8c3ad957252878a2bb7d','5efb8c5dd957252878a2bb7f'] //Apply this action on widget ids

 

//for each widget id

widgets.forEach(myfunction)

function myfunction (item)

{

var widgetfindid = prism.activeDashboard.widgets.$$widgets.find(w => w.oid === item)

widgetfindid.changesMade() //apply changes to Mongo

widgetfindid.refresh() //refresh the widget

 

}

CONFIGURATION STEP A: DEFINING FILTER

Add a filer on a Date Dimension using the “Time Frame”  option.

STEP B: CONFIGURING YOUR ACTION

The action has this format:

This code is in the blox “Editor” section. Add the items you want to filter on.

"type": "ActionSet",

                    "actions": [

                        {

                            "type": "RelativeDate",

                            "text": "Week",

                            "title": "Current Week"

                        },

                        {

                            "type": "RelativeDate",

                            "text": "Month",

                            "title": "Current Month"

                        },

This code is in the action. Add the “if” portion to correspond with the “ActionSet”.

if (payload.text == "Year" ) {

 

prism.activeDashboard.filters.$$items[0].jaql.level = "years";

prism.activeDashboard.filters.$$items[0].jaql.filter.last.count = 1;

prism.activeDashboard.filters.$$items[0].jaql.filter.last.offset = 0;

 

} else if
