Quantela platform user manual

If the widget configuration dialog box is not already open, do as follows:

In the widget configuration dialog box, click the Dataset tab.

Click New Dataset.

A new dataset is created for you to configure.

On the left-hand side of the tab, you can rename the dataset. Click the Actions icon and then click the Edit icon. Enter the new name and click the Update icon.

You can also translate this text by clicking on the Translate icon and entering the translation of the desired language selected. Auto-suggestions are also available where the reused contents are auto-suggested.

In the Data Source box, select the data source from which you want to display information. The list is populated with the data sources that have already been set up and is automatically filtered on the data source type that is appropriate for the widget type:

If you need to, you can edit the data source by clicking the Edit icon next to the Data Source box.

For the FloorMap widget, you can click on the icon to view the format that the dataset should be in, which is shown in the screenshot below.

If the Request Parameters drop-down panel appears on the right-hand side, you must supply parameters to the data source to enable the widget to display information. Click Request Parameters.

Enter the default values for the parameters. These are the values that will be passed to the data source when the widget loads data for the first time.

Click Submit.

The preview pane in the upper half of the dialog box is updated with information from the data source.

Click Data Refresh Settings. In the Custom Events box, select the event(s) on which the information from the data source should be updated. The default events are as follows:

Note that to enable MAP_ENTITY_CLICK or TABLE.SELECT_ROW_EVENT to work, you must also set up a corresponding Action in the map or datagrid widget to trigger this event. See Configure map widget actions or Configure datagrid widget columns.

The Mappings boxes indicate the parameters that are passed when an event occurs. They are already populated with the names of the parameters whose values are needed by the data source.

To enable the dataset to be updated at a regular frequency, select the Time check box and enter the time after which the dataset should be updated.

To disable the initial loading of data, select the Disable initial load check box so that only the dataset data will be loaded. This will improve the performance. However, this should be enabled only when one widget data changes depending on another widget data selection ie; parent-child widgets. Also, this is currently not supported in the map widget.

To enter a custom text to show before the widget is fully configured, enter it in Custom widget message.

Additionally, click Security Settings. In the Select Domain drop-down, select any of the domain that was created in the Definitions->Domains section. The widget created for the domain selected will be accessible only for the role to which it is assigned. For example, a Parking Widget can be accessed by only the parking operator and the default operator.

Click Update.

You can add further datasets only for the Data Selector, KPI, Map, HTML and FloorMap widgets. For example, if you're configuring a map widget that includes several layers of information, you may need to add a dataset for each layer. To do this, click New Dataset.
