DataItemContainer Class

Serves as the base class for data item containers.

Declaration

export abstract class DataItemContainer extends TypedSerializableModel implements IBindingModelProvider, ICustomPropertiesProvider

Remarks

In most scenarios, dashboard items use collections of data items (DataItem) to define their data bindings. In more advanced cases, dashboard items require a collection of data item sets (pairs) to bind to data. For instance, dashboard items that calculate the difference between two measurements need a collection of measurement pairs.

These data item sets are represented by the DataItemContainer class descendants.

The image below shows the Sales vs Target data item container that calculates difference between two measures - Sales and SalesTarget:
