Overview

The following sections outline sample dashboard content developed with DashXML and Yellowfin content. It will explore each of the avilalbe widget types, how they were set up in the XML, and how they were styled through custom CSS. 

Note: this is merely a guide in order to walk you through using the DashXML framework for your own dashboard requirements.

The main XML widget types consist of the following:

<application-definition>
	<sourcefilter></sourcefilter>
	<dashboard>
		<text></text>
		<exportlist>
			<export><export>
		</exportlist>
		<filter>
			<options>
				<summary><summary>
			</options>
		</filter>
		<report>
			<modal>
				<subcontent></subcontent>
			</modal>
			<filterMap></filterMap>
		</report>
		<modal>
			<subcontent></subcontent>
		</modal>
		<customhtml>
			<replacements></replacements>
		</customhtml>
		<subtab>
			<options>
				<subcontent></subcontent>
				<summary></summary>
			</options>
		<subtab>
	</dashboard>
</application-definition>

 

The full XML structure is outlined on the Widget XML page.

    font-size: 40px;
    float: left;
}

 

 

Export Button Widget

The Export Buttons allow you to export the dashboard and reports to various formats using the <exportlist> XML Widget. This will need to define which export formats you wish to allow, and which report to export (if you are using XLS).

Example Output

Example Elements

<exportlist>

Filter Widget

Dates

These can be implemented using the <filter> XML widget. Each filter widget requires at least one option to be defined, allowing the user to select a value to apply. This particular filter has four options; Custom, Year, Month, and All Time. The Year, Month, and All Time filters have been set up using pre-defined date ranges, while the Custom option was specified as user prompt in order to allow users to specify a custom range.

Example Output

Example Elements

<filter>

ChildValueDescription

sync

trueSetting this to true allows the values of this filter to be passed to other dashboards.
datatypeDATEThis specifies that the filter options need to return a date type in order to be applied.
namedateFilterThis contains the name of the filter, to be used to identify it for the <filterMap> node used on reports receiving the values.  
operatorBETWEEN

This specifies the operator for the filter, and must be compatible with the operators used in reports you wish to pass the filter values to.

BETWEEN means two values are expected. This option should be used for operators defined in the report including, but not limited to; Between, Not Between.

styleClasstopFilterThis contains a CSS class name used to apply styling to the component.
options This contains nodes to define the contents of the display and possible values. Each option to be presented to the user will need to have its own <option> node. In this example we’ve used a Year, Month, and Custom option. See <options> node description.

 

<options> (Custom)

ChildValueDescription
titleCustomThis is the label displayed on the filter. A text name describing the value that will be applied.
prompttrueThis specifies that the option doesn’t have a value predefined, but rather will ask the user to provide it. In this example, as we are using a prompt, there is no need for a <value> node. As the filter is defined as a date, the user will be presented with a calendar picker (which can be styled using css).

 

<options> (Year)

ChildValueDescription
title YearThis is the label displayed on the filter. A text name describing the value that will be applied.
typecodePREDEF This defines that the option will use a predefined filter, such as a predefined date range. You will then have to specify which definition to use in the <value> node.
valueYEARTODATE YEARTODATE uses the predefined date range that is the first date of the current year, to the current date.


<options> (Month)

ChildValueDescription
title MonthThis is the label displayed on the filter. A text name describing the value that will be applied.
typecodePREDEF This defines that the option will use a predefined filter, such as a predefined date range. You will then have to specify which definition to use in the <value> node.
valueMONTHTODATE MONTHTODATE uses the predefined date range that is the first date of the current month, to the current date.


<options> (All Time)

ChildValueDescription
title All Time This is the label displayed on the filter. A text name describing the value that will be applied.
value1900-01-01\|2100-01-01 This defines that the date range will be from 1st Jan 1900 to 1st Jan 2100, effectively covering all the data in this dataset.
defaultOption trueThis specifies this option as the default selection for the dashboard. Only one <option> node can be the default, the rest should be false or omit this node.

Custom HTML Widget

Text & Report Data

The data from a report can be used within a <customHTML> XML Widget along with other elements to produce a combined output. In this scenario, we wanted to display the first date we have records for within the user selected filter date range. To do this we wanted to combine some static text with a date record from a report. The widget needed to contain HTML to display the static text, such as "Your camp started on: ", and the dynamic date element that comes from the result of a Yellowfin report. In order to do this, you will also need to include the report that returns the date as a hidden report.

Example Output

Example Elements

<report>

ChildValueDescription
displayHIDDENHIDDEN allows the results of the report to be used in other components of the page, rather than in its native tabular format. In this case, the report is a single row report returning the Camp Start Date, filtered by the date filter on the tab.
uuid

b0ebacf2-c51d-41c6-8a3f-09cef22adb67

This contains the Yellowfin UUID of the report in order to call it.

filterMap 

This contains nodes to define any filters that need to be passed to the report from elsewhere on the dashboard tab. In this example, we’ve passed the main date filter from the tab to the report (dateFilter). See <filterMap> node description.

 

<filterMap>

ChildValueDescription
filterUUID

ea41ba19-6362-4e97-b607-cc66d22cc5cb

This is the UUID of the filter in the hidden report that will receive the <mapToFilter> value. In this case, it’s the date filter applied to the Camp Start Date report.
mapToFilter

dateFilter

This is the name of the filter applied elsewhere on the dashboard tab. In this example, we’re linking to the dateFilter filters, defined in the Filter section of this document.

 

<customhtml>

ChildValueDescription
styleClassdashboardDatesContains a CSS class name used to apply styling to the component.
html<![CDATA[<div>Your camp started on: <@- campStart @></div>]]>Contains the HTML to be used as the component, wrapped in a CDATA section. In this example, we have the CDATA tag containing static text, and the <@- campStart @> parameter which references the campStart replacement, defined in the <replacements> node.
replacements 

This allows you to place a parameter in the custom html that will be replaced with values of a filter or report, if required. In order to call the parameter, place the replaceName value in <@- ->. See <replacements> node description.

 

<replacements>

ChildValueDescription
replaceNamecampStart

This is the name given to the parameter in the <customhtml> node. In this example, we’ve called the replacement campStart.

reportName

b0ebacf2-c51d-41c6-8a3f-09cef22adb67

This is the UUID of the report. If you’ve used the report elsewhere on the dashboard, you could put the report name in this node. In this example, we’re only using the report to provide a value for the custom HTML, nothing else.

valueColumn0

This is the column of the report that the value will come from. If the report had multiple columns and rows, you would also need the <matchColumn> and <matchValue> nodes, but in this example our report is only one cell. The numbering of the columns starts at 0.

Example XML

<!-- Report to return Camp Start Date -->
<report>
    <display>HIDDEN</display>
    <uuid>b0ebacf2-c51d-41c6-8a3f-09cef22adb67</uuid>
    <filterMap>
        <filterUUID>ea41ba19-6362-4e97-b607-cc66d22cc5cb</filterUUID>
        <mapToFilter>dateFilter</mapToFilter>
    </filterMap>
</report>       
 
<!-- Custom HTML to display Camp Start Date -->
<customhtml>
    <styleClass>dashboardDates</styleClass>
    <html><![CDATA[<div>Your camp started on: <@- campStart @></div>]]></html>
    <replacements>
        <replaceName>campStart</replaceName>
        <reportName>b0ebacf2-c51d-41c6-8a3f-09cef22adb67</reportName>
        <valueColumn>0</valueColumn>
    </replacements>
</customhtml>

Example CSS

.dashboardDates {
    color: #909FAC;
    font-size: 13px;
    margin: 2px 0px 0px 0px;
    padding: 0px 15px;
}
