Filters
Using the same drag-and-drop interface, users can filter data through sections lists, trees, and
containers, as well as through range sliders and calendars.
Selection Lists are used to filter the data displayed by other components; however, they
also provide feedback to you on the selections you make.
The Selection tree is a hierarchical filtering element.
A Selection Container can display all of the filters that are currently operating on
the
dashboard. It can hold Selection List and Range Slider components, allowing end-users to add new
selection components to a dashboard.
The Range Slider element filters data to fall within a specified range. It can be used
on
both Date fields and Numeric fields, and provides the ability to filter data by consecutive
dates or
numbers.
A Calendar allows you to select data by time range, measured in weeks or months. It also
facilitates comparative aggregation, for example, the side-by-side comparison of total quantity
purchased during the month of December in the last 2 years.
Input Components
You can enter data into dashboards using the input components (Slider, Spinner, Combo Box, etc.)
Input elements, unlike selection elements, do not merely filter a fixed set of data. Instead, they
cause re-execution of queries and modify the original result set.
Sliders and Spinners are interactive input elements that can supply numerical data
to Embedded Tables and Variables in the underlying Worksheet and Viewsheet component properties.
Sliders and Spinners differ from one another only in appearance.
Radio Buttons, Check Boxes, and Combo Boxes are used to enter numeric or
non-numeric data into an Embedded Table or Variable in the underlying Worksheet. They can also be
used to set dynamic properties of other dashboard components, e.g., visibility, color, etc.
The Submit button provides a way for the user to trigger a scripted action in the Viewsheet.
This action is performed by a script that you place in the 'onClick' handler of the Submit button.
The TextInput component allows a user to enter arbitrary data in the form of text, date,
integer, or floating point values. This component is commonly used together with the Submit Button
to commit user edits to the database.
Output Components
Graphical output components display summarized data using a familiar measurement device (Gauge,
Cylinder, Thermometer, Sliding Scale, etc.).
The highly graphical nature of these objects makes them ideal candidates for presenting key
indicators. Like data views, graphical output components are controlled by selection and input
components.
Thermometers, Cylinders, Scales, and Gauges are identical in
terms of data binding and functionality. They display a summarized value for a single column in
a
Data Block, query, or model. These output components differ only in appearance.
