A data container for changes resulting from end-user interaction - selected master filter values, drill-down levels, selected dashboard item layers and current parameter values.

Declaration

export class DashboardState

Remarks

The DashboardState class includes states of individual dashboard items (the DashboardState.Items property) and currently selected parameter values (DashboardState.Parameters).

How to Apply a Dashboard State

The following example shows how to apply the dashboard state to the Energy Statistics demo. The Year parameter is 2008, the Card‘s master filter value is Solid Fuels. MVCxDashboard is the client instance name of the DashboardControl.

function onClick() {
  var control = MVCxDashboard.GetDashboardControl();
  control.setDashboardState({
    "Parameters": {
      "Year": 2008
    },
    "Items": {
      "cardProductionImportByType": {
          MasterFilterValues: [["Solid Fuels"]]
      }
    }
  });
}

The code below shows how to apply the dashboard state to the Sales Overview demo. The Range Filter‘s predefined period is 6 Month, the Grid‘s master filter value is Nevada. MVCxDashboard is the client instance name of the DashboardControl.

function onClick() {
  var control = MVCxDashboard.GetDashboardControl();
  control.setDashboardState({
      "Items": {
      "gridSalesByState": {
        MasterFilterValues: [["Nevada"]]
      },
      "range": {
        RangeFilterState: {
          PeriodName: "6 Months"
        }
      }
     }
  });
}

How to Reset a Dashboard State to Default

The code below clears filters (unselects all master filter values), the RangeFilter state, and drill-down levels for dashboard items. To do this, pass an empty object of a dashboard item state to the entire dashboard state.

Note

The control variable in the example below is the obtained DashboardControl instance. Refer to the Extensions Overview topic for information on how to obtain a DashboardControl for each platform.

function onClick() {
  //... 
  var state = JSON.parse(control.getDashboardState());
  if (state && state.Items) {
      Object.keys(state.Items).forEach(function (itemName) {
          var itemState = state.Items[itemName];
          itemState.MasterFilterValues = [];
          itemState.DrillDownValues = [];
          itemState.RangeFilterState = { };
      }) 
  }
  control.setDashboardState(JSON.stringify(state));
}
