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.Customizing the Offset Size of Selected Categories in Sisense Pie Chart Widgets
In Sisense, pie chart widgets, including the various pie chart style options such as donut charts, are a common way to visualize data. By default, when a user selects a category within a pie chart, that slice "pops out" to highlight the selection. This article explains how to customize the offset size of selected categories in Sisense pie chart widgets by leveraging Highcharts settings of the widget using Sisense widget scripting capabilities.Advanced Pivot Widget Scripting - Combining Custom JAQL and the Pivot 2.0 API
While the Pivot Table Widget Type is a highly customizable and flexible Sisense widget for representing data in tabular form, certain use cases may be best achieved through custom code and scripting. The Pivot 2.0 JavaScript API facilitates the modification of existing pivot table cells, including updating cell values and adding data to cells not present in the initial results.Expanding on Using Native Javascript Date Calculations To Modify Sisense Date Filters
Sisense offers native support for various types of date filter functionalities, and also allows users to create and modify dynamic filters entirely using dashboard or widget scripting. This article expands upon the code samples discussed in the previous article on this subject, showcasing additional examples. These examples further demonstrate how to leverage JavaScript date objects (which use Unix time) for advanced date filtering in Sisense. Sisense date filters typically utilize dates in standard calendar-based string date formats. To expand on the code samples shared in the previous examples which were based on a filter based on a set time period from today, and based on user comments in the previous article, three additional examples are included in the article.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.
