Sisense Add-On customBarColumnChart Disappearing Filters
We have an add on in Sisense named "customBarColumnChart", and when enabled, it then acts how the video is showing with the filter selection. When it is disabled, it acts normally. We use that add on in multiple dashboards, and want to know if there is a way around this, or if we need to edit each widget script to perform the custom chart sorting.36Views0likes3CommentsGeo Analysis or Spatial Insights - Add-Ons that Nail It!
With the importance of geographic analysis coming to light over the last few years, Sisense and QbeeQ are offering geo spatial add-ons that offer a quick and intuitive way to visualize data over an area of interest. Read the article to learn about the full picture of an advanced Geo-Spatial analytical story.4.2KViews6likes0CommentsPlugin - Enable Multicolor Legend Items for Conditional and Range
Overview Legend items come with colored boxes that represent the data points in the chart. The color of each box matches the bar/column/bubble in the chart, as long as the measure is set to a single color, and not conditional or range. When conditional or range is used, the legend item's box becomes grey (or the palette's default color for Scatter Charts), because the box cannot natively accommodate multiple colors. This plugin solves this limitation by: splitting the box into smaller strips to accommodate multiple colors, for conditional, or creating a gradient of two colors in the box, for range. Limitations This plugin is only relevant to Bar Charts, Column Charts, and Scatter Charts. Other chart types either do not support conditional/range or have their own version of legends (e.g., Area Map). If there are too many legend items, wider boxes might affect spacing and cause certain items to be cut off. See the Configuration section below for more details. Installation Instructions Download and unzip the plugin zip file. Extract the files directly (do not extract into a new folder); the plugin files are already organized within a folder in the zip file. Upload the multiColorLegendItems folder to the plugins directory on your Sisense server (/opt/sisense/storage/plugins). Check the Add-ons page in the Admin tab (under Server & Hardware) and make sure the new plugin is listed and enabled. Modify the config file as needed (this can be done before of after the upload). Configurations This plugin comes with a configuration file that can be updated as needed. The four configuration settings in the file are: numberOfColorsForWiderBoxes . If there are too many conditions, the box may be too small to accommodate all colors, so the width may need to be increased. In this case, specify the threshold for the number of colors. For example, a threshold of 5 means the box width will be increased if there are five or more colors assigned to it. Otherwise, the original width will be kept. Note: Wider boxes might affect spacing and cause certain legend items to be cut off if there are too many of them. To work around this, the verticalLayout setting can be set to true. The default value is 5. widthMultiplierForConditional . For wider boxes, specify the multiplier. For example, a multiplier of 1.5 means the new width will be 1.5 times the original width for boxes that have more colors than the numberOfColorsForWiderBoxes threshold. The default value is 1.5. widthMultiplierForGradient . If wider boxes are needed for range as well, specify the multiplier. Otherwise, leave the default value of 1. The original width is generally sufficient for range. verticalLayout . Specify whether legend items should be laid out vertically. This is useful when wider boxes are needed and there are too many legend items to fit correctly horizontally. The default value is false. Examples 1. Conditional with 4 colors (less than the numberOfColorsForWiderBoxes threshold) [ALT Text: A comparison of two column charts labeled "Before" and "After," displaying sales and costs data by sales associates. The "Before" chart shows the "Sales" legend item box in grey despite conditional formatting being applied, while the "After" chart correctly displays the four conditional colors.] 2. Conditional with 11 colors (greater than the numberOfColorsForWiderBoxes threshold, the legend item box width is increased) [ALT Text: A comparison of two scatter charts labeled "Before" and "After," displaying sales and costs data by sales associates. The "Before" chart shows the "Sales" legend item box in blue (the palette's default color) despite conditional formatting being applied, while the "After" chart correctly displays all eleven conditional colors, with a wider box to fit them.] 3. Range Auto (both the min and max colors are auto-selected) [ALT Text: A comparison of bar scatter charts labeled "Before" and "After," displaying sales and costs data by sales associates. The "Before" chart shows the "Sales" legend item box in grey despite automatic range (gradient) being applied, while the "After" chart correctly displays a gradient between the automatically selected minimum and maximum colors.] 4. Range Manual with Min Max range type (both the min and max colors are manually selected) [ALT Text: A comparison of bar scatter charts labeled "Before" and "After," displaying sales and costs data by sales associates. The "Before" chart shows the "Sales" legend item box in grey despite manual range (gradient) with Min/Max mode being applied, while the "After" chart correctly displays a gradient between the user-selected minimum and maximum colors.] 5. Range Manual with Min range type (only the min color is manually selected) [ALT Text: A comparison of bar scatter charts labeled "Before" and "After," displaying sales and costs data by sales associates. The "Before" chart shows the "Sales" legend item box in grey despite manual range (gradient) with Min mode being applied, while the "After" chart correctly displays a gradient between the user-selected minimum color and the automatically selected maximum color.] 6. Range Manual with Max range type (only the max color is manually selected) [ALT Text: A comparison of bar scatter charts labeled "Before" and "After," displaying sales and costs data by sales associates. The "Before" chart shows the "Sales" legend item box in grey despite manual range (gradient) with Max mode being applied, while the "After" chart correctly displays a gradient between the automatically selected minimum color and the user-selected maximum color.]317Views2likes0CommentsPlugin parameters
Feature request: When you install my plugin, you have to enter your "Region". Currently, I can handle that with a config.json file that you edit before installing the plugin. I would like an option in the Sisense UI to set plugin parameters: At /app/settings/add-ons, you can already turn plugins on and off. Add a "configure" button to each plugin. It should look at the config.json file, display all the parameters found there, and let you edit them. Purpose: When the plugin configuration needs to change, users can do that without using SSH.11Views0likes0CommentsReport Manager - Option to suppress Sending Empty Reports
Would like to see a togglable option, for example: "do not send empty reports" in Report Manager. The use case here is where a customer only wants to see a report if there is data in it. A listing of errors or exceptions, for example. Most of the time would be getting blank reports because nothing is wrong, and they only want to be alerted where there is something to take action on.12Views2likes0CommentsPDF Download Options
Hi there, Sisense should enhance the PDF export functionality by allowing users to select specific widgets to include when downloading a dashboard. Additionally, a 'fit to page' option should be provided to automatically resize widgets according to the paper size, while preserving layout integrity and readability. We strongly recommend including these features in a future release, as many of our clients are experiencing difficulties with the current limitations. At present, we are relying on alternative solutions that are both complex and time-consuming to manage. Thank You!27Views1like1CommentReport Manager / Export to PDF >> support pageless PDF

There is no way to filter the errored schedule reports on the Report Manager dashboard. We need to scroll through the pages to see the failures of the day. Is there any way you can add one more filter value, Failed, along with the following options (Running, Not Running, and Pending)?43Views1like0Comments
