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.Adding additional dimensions to the Scatter Map widget tooltip
Adding additional dimensions to the Scatter Map widget tooltip Additional dimensions can be added to the hover tooltip of the Scatter Map widget type, beyond the default limit of three, to include more information from other dimensions about a location in a Scatter Map widget. This can be accomplished by using a combination of the widget's before query event to add additional dimension data for the hover tooltips and the before datapoint tooltip event to incorporate these dimensions into the tooltip. This method of modifying the query using the "beforequery" event can also be applied to all other widget types // Add extra parameters to be used in tooltips by modifying query widget.on('beforequery', function (se, ev) { // Initial number of widget metadata panels excluding filter panel widget.initialPanelSizeExcludingFilterPanel = ev.query.metadata.filter((panel) => { return panel.panel !== "scope" }).length; // Extra dimensions to show in tooltip, should return a single result, include as many as needed, just add to array // Jaql Objects can be copied from other widgets from the prism.activeWidget.metadata.panels via the browser console // Modify JAQL as needed, title of JAQL is used in tooltip and can be modified to any string widget.extraDimensionJAQL = [ { "jaql": { "table": "Category", "column": "Category ID", "dim": "[Category.Category ID]", "datatype": "numeric", "merged": true, "agg": "count", "title": "Unique Category ID" } }, { "jaql": { "table": "Country", "column": "Country ID", "dim": "[Country.Country ID]", "datatype": "numeric", "merged": true, "agg": "count", "title": "Unique Country ID" } }, ] // Add to default widget query the extra dimensions to be used in tooltips ev.query.metadata = ev.query.metadata.concat(widget.extraDimensionJAQL) }); // Add extra dimensions added with beforequery object to ScatterMap tooltip widget.on("beforedatapointtooltip", (event, params) => { // Convert query results to include only the additional dimensions, and formatted for tooltip template var onlyAdditionalDimensions = widget.queryResult.$$rows.map((withoutDefaultDimensionOnlyAdditional) => { // Remove the default dimensions, first part of row result array var withoutDefaultDimensionOnlyAdditional = withoutDefaultDimensionOnlyAdditional.slice(widget.initialPanelSizeExcludingFilterPanel) // Format for tooltip template, include title from JAQL var extraDimensionObj = withoutDefaultDimensionOnlyAdditional.map((extraDimensionValue, index) => { // Use extraDimensionJAQL for label in tooltip return { "text": extraDimensionValue.text, "title": widget.extraDimensionJAQL[index].jaql.title } }) return extraDimensionObj }); // Object to store extra dimensions params.context.marker.extraDimension = {}; // Use matching queryIndex for tooltip of additional dimensions params.context.marker.extraDimension.arr = onlyAdditionalDimensions[params.context.marker.queryIndex]; // Template for tooltip, modify as needed params.template = ` <div class='geo-text'>{{ model.marker.name }}</div> <div class='measure-holder' data-ng-if='model.measuresMetadata.sizeTitle'> <div class='measure-title slf-text-secondary'>{{ model.measuresMetadata.sizeTitle }}:</div> <div class='measure-value'>{{ model.marker.sizeObj.text }}</div> </div> <div class='measure-holder' data-ng-if='model.measuresMetadata.colorTitle'> <div class='measure-title slf-text-secondary'>{{ model.measuresMetadata.colorTitle }}:</div> <div class='measure-value'>{{ model.marker.colorObj.text }}</div> </div> <div class='measure-holder details-measure-holder' data-ng-if='model.measuresMetadata.detailsTitle'> <div class='measure-title slf-text-secondary'>{{ model.measuresMetadata.detailsTitle }}:</div> <div class='measure-value' data-ng-if="!model.marker.detailsObj.arr">{{ model.marker.detailsObj.text }}</div> <div class="details-wait" data-ng-if="model.marker.detailsObj.pendingDetails"></div> <div data-ng-if="model.marker.detailsObj.arr"> <div class="details-value" data-ng-repeat="a in model.marker.detailsObj.arr">{{a.text}}</div> <div class="details-counter" data-ng-if="model.marker.detailsObj.hasMore"> <div class="details-counter">...</div> <div class="details-counter"> {{'smap.ttip.firstres'|translate:(args={count:model.marker.detailsObj.arr.length})}}</div> </div> </div> </div> <div data-ng-if="model.marker.extraDimension.arr"> <div data-ng-if='model.measuresMetadata.colorTitle'> <div class='measure-holder' data-ng-repeat="a in model.marker.extraDimension.arr"> <div class='measure-title slf-text-secondary'>{{a.title}}:</div> <div class="measure-value extra-dimension-value">{{a.text}}</div> </div> </div> </div>`; }); The JAQL can be changed to any valid JAQL object, and the tooltip template can also be further modified.How to create a list of users with a current role
How to create a list of users with a current role To get a list of the users with their roles you can use table usage. Get the next fields from it - email and userRole. In this table, you can find all the roles that these users had previously [ALT Text: A table displaying two columns: "email" and "userRole." The "email" column contains redacted email addresses, while the "userRole" column lists different roles such as "Viewer," "Data Designer," "datadesigner," and "Designer." Some users appear multiple times with different roles.] To avoid this, lets go to the elasticube, open table usage. Create a Custom Column [ALT Text: A screenshot of the Sisense Elasticube interface showing the usage table with multiple fields, including trackingId, timeStamp, userId, userRole, and more. An arrow points to the three-dot menu next to the usage table, where a dropdown menu is open. The "Add Custom Column" option is highlighted in red, indicating the selection for creating a new custom column.] Name it - rank_date_ids We will use the function RankCompetitionDesc (https://docs.sisense.com/main/SisenseLinux/mathematical-functions.htm) Our query will look like this: RankCompetitionDesc( email, [timeStamp] ) Press the Save button and Build the Elasticube [ALT Text: A screenshot of the Sisense Elasticube interface showing the creation of a custom column named rank_date_ids in the usage table. The formula RankCompetitionDesc(email, [timeStamp]) is entered in the editor. An arrow points to the "Save" button, indicating the action to save the custom column. The status message at the bottom confirms that the formula has been parsed successfully.] Go to the dashboard and edit our widget. Add a filter for a column rank_date_ids = 1 [ALT Text: Dropdown menu interface with multiple selectable options. Check the box next to each option. "Add Filter" and "Usage Analytics Model" are visible. One item is selected and highlighted.] As the result, we will get the current user roles for every user. [ALT Text: Table showing an email column with text obscured in red and a user-role column listing "Viewer" and "Data Designer".]
