Using Native Javascript Date Calculations To Modify Sisense Date Filters
Sisense natively supports various types of date filter functionalities. However, there are instances where a dynamically updating date filter is desired based on dynamically changing conditions such as the current date. Such a filter may not precisely align with the filters provided in the Sisense UI. One approach to achieve this custom behavior of a dynamically updating filter is through the use of dashboard or widget scripting.Converting an Existing Sisense Widget to a Dynamic ComposeSDK Widget Component
Using either the widget Sisense API's, or the Sisense widget JS API object, it is possible to determine all components and parameters of a widget required to create an equivalent dynamic ComposeSDK widget component. This approach allows the extraction of all components and parameters of a widget, enabling the creation of an equivalent dynamic ComposeSDK widget component without directly referencing or relying on a specific widget or dashboard ID. The metadata of an existing widget contains all the information needed to create a dynamic version of an existing Sisense widget. It is also possible to use an existing widget ID and dashboard ID to render an existing widget in ComposeSDK, but this does not take full advantage of the capabilities of ComposeSDK to generate new widgets directly.Using the "desc" Description Parameter of a Sisense Dashboard via the REST API
The description parameter ("desc") of the Sisense dashboard object is notable for its somewhat unique characteristic – it is not accessible or editable through the Sisense Web GUI. Consequently, this parameter can only be programmatically accessed and modified. Despite this limitation, the "desc" parameter proves valuable for storing dashboard descriptions, facilitating programmatic interactions, or embedding usage.

As a result, they are more at ease and more likely to stay engaged with your dashboards.Quickly Add Unique Identifier to Blox Action Buttons Without Modifying Blox Template
A customer recently had the unusual request for a method to select and distinguish, via a CSS selector used within a custom Javascript action, for a specific Blox buttons in a existing Blox widget that contained multiple identical buttons, identical in inner text and all other parameters, without adding any new lines to the Blox template to add unique identifiers.Animating Sisense Title Elements and Widgets Using CSS Animations
Animating Sisense widget elements and dashboard and widget titles is a possible way to enhance the visual appeal and user experience of a Sisense dashboard, or highlight a particular part of a dashboard or widget. Sisense widgets and titles are standard HTML elements, making it possible to apply animation using solely standard CSS stylesheets, much like other HTML elements on non-Sisense pages. Animations can include effects like fading widgets in or out and cyclic changes in text color of widgets or titles.
