How to play with views? (part 1: reset initial state, part 2: table/chart/table&chart view)

Hi,

One of the great advantages is to use query and apply a diversity on views on it.  This with a simple use of a selector.  For the user it means that they will have an agile experience and are not opening like 3 different reports, like the feeling you have with tabs.  And <en plus> you do not have to insert 3 times the same query with a different initial state, you just need one.

PART 1: reset initial state

THe only hickup I noticed, was the reset initial view.

Steps to reproduce:

• create a new design studio application
• assign datasource
• set initial view on the datasource (“ASTKX” = service master in my initial view)

• add component chart or crosstab
• add component listbox
• add 3 “view” names to the “Items”

• write script “on events”

• the reset initial view is accomplished by removing the additional dimensions and redefining the initial state.  Now, we can play between the views!
• let’s PLAY

manager view

Controller view

Analyzer view (inital state)

PART 2: Table / Chart / Table & Chart – View

• Add radionbutton
• the values are called: Table, Graphic and Table & Graphic

• write the script, see part 1 (reset to initial view, the explanation why you have to repeat the scripting for each view)
• our report has for example height 1000.  For split screen (chart&table) we change the height to both 500 and set the topmargins.  For the unsplit screens we keep the 1000 and topmargin=0.

• now let’s play
• >> table & graph
• >> graphic
