Step 3: Creating Machine ProcessesStep 4: Automating ProcessesStep 5: Handling Cooking MachinesStep 6: Next Steps Step 3: Creating Machine Processes Having data and properties without moving parts would be useless. We already setup services on how to perform an inspection in the last guide. This time around, let's form processes to create our products and generate any alerts whenever we've finished production. We won't show too much into our recipe (it's a family secret), but we will highlight some concepts to help with making our machine process smoother.We won't go into creating an SMT line. For a complete guide on how to create such an application you can view our Monitor an SMT Assembly Line guide. Events and Subscriptions Let's create events for the cook time being done and a subscriptions on how to handle these scenarios. Open the Fizos.BrautsMachine.ThingTemplate template and go to the Events tab.Click the + Add bu

Guide ConceptStep 1: What Are FunctionsStep 2: Create an Expression Discover how ThingWorx Functions can be implemented in a compelling Mashup design. Guide Concept This project will introduce how to create complex user interfaces that are built by using simple Mashup functions. Following the steps in this guide, you will build a web application with multiple layers.We will teach you how to create a professional user interface that effectively conveys information to users.  You'll learn how to Navigate to other UIsCreate expressions and validationsCreate event routers and data handlingCreate confirmation modals/pop-upsCreate status messages NOTE: This guide's content aligns with ThingWorx 9.3.

Step 3: Create Validation and StatusStep 4: Create Confirmation ModalStep 5: Create Navigation Step 3: Create Validation and Status With our MyFunctionsMashup Mashup open, let's add a Validation. A Validation is similar to an Expression, except you have the added capability of triggering Events based on a True or False outcome of your validation. We will use the Validation to check and confirm the Text Field we created only has the values we added in our Functions. Let's also add two Status Message Functions that will show whether or not a user has added any text outside of what we want. Open the MyFunctionsMashup Mashup to the Design tab.Click the green + button in the Functions area.  In the New Function modal, select Validator. Set the Name to isDataClean. Click Next. Click Add Parameter.Set the Name to text and ensure the Base Type is STRING. Add the following code to the Expression are:if(tex

Step 6: Create Event RouterStep 7: Next Steps Step 6: Create Event Router What do you do when a user can perform multiple events in which data is generated, and want those outputs to go through the same exact process? An Events Router Function is your solution. The Events Router Function allows for multiple data sources to be funneled to one location. Let's create a simple example in our MyFunctionsMashup Mashup. In this Mashup, we'll add two Text Field Widgets and a Label Widget. The two Text Field Widgets will take user input and then an Events Router will send the output to the Label. Let's start! Open the MyFunctionsMashup Mashup to the Design tab.Click on the Widgets tab.Type in the Filter text box for Text Field. Drag and drop TWO (2) Text Field Widgets to the Mashup Canvas.Type in the Filter text box for Label. Drag and drop ONE (1) Label Widget to the Mashup Canvas.We now have all the Widgets we need for this

Hi,  Do we have a solution to that since that question was asked ?

Hello,  is there any way to clean a selected location in the google map widget?

There are a few things mentioned on this site about this "SAMEORIGIN" error along with suggested fixes.  But the easiest fix I have found is when entering the URL, add the following parameter ("?rs:embed=true") (without parens and quotes, of course).  You should then be able to open URLs within the Webframe widget.  Your URL should then read something like https://my.domain.com/myreport?rs:embed-true&otherparams=asneeded.   I ran across this when attempting to pull down a report from SSRS into ThingWorx.  The on-screen error was not helpful at all (On-screen rror message:  <URL> refused to connect).  But when I opened Developer Tools, I saw the full error (“Refused to display <  URL > in a frame because it set ‘X-Frame-Options’ to ‘sameorigin’ ”).  Adding the above parameter allowed the report to open very easily, and then you can then print a full paginated report from within ThingWorx from SSRS.   E.

Step 5: Mashup Builder APIStep 6: Mashup Builder Callbacks   Step 5: Mashup Builder API   The following APIs can be accessed by a widget in the context of the Mashup Builder:    API                                                                                                                Description this.jqElementId This is the DOM element ID of your object after renderHtml(). this.jqElement This is the jquery element. this.getProperty(name) / this.setProperty(name,value) Note that every call to this function will call afterSetProperty() if it’s defined in the widget. this.updatedProperties() This function should be called anytime properties are changed in the widget so t

Step 7: Widget Lifecycle at RuntimeStep 8: Runtime APIs available to WidgetsStep 9: Runtime Callbacks     Step 7: Widget Lifecycle at Runtime   When a Widget is first created, the runtime will obtain any declared Properties by calling the runtimeProperties() function.   The property values that were saved in the Mashup definition will be loaded into your object without your code being called in any way. After the Widget is loaded but before it’s displayed on the screen, the runtime will call renderHtml() for you to return the HTML for your object. The runtime will render that HTML into the appropriate place in the DOM. Immediately after that HTML is added to the DOM, you will be called with afterRender(). This is the time to do the various jQuery bindings (if you need any). It is only at this point that you can reference the actual DOM elements, and you should only do this using code such as:   // note that this is a jQuery object var widg

I am currently working on configurator application and it looks something like this We haveSome configurations on leftA Thing View with a model loaded in the middleA list of selected configuration on the rightI want achieve two things here.Some how get a list of all parts that are currently on this model and I will make them checked by default in the left menu.Hide and show specific parts based on my selection on the left menu. For example, when I unselect Bucket from the menu it should be removed from the model and when I check it , it comes back.This feature I want to add is similar to the Windchill Visualization option. But I don't know where to look for this in Thing Worx and what option of Thing View I need to update.   

Hi all, is there any way to retrieve the token name using the token valuesThere are multiple entry for token name which has same token value. For example ui.testpassed= test passed , also test_passed = test passed. Need to clean up duplicateThanks in advance 

Hi Expert Community,I have an application that requires to read data using Modbus serial at a fix rate (for example every 5 minutes). The complete data read by Modbus should be published using IoT Gateway MQTT. However an additional requirement is that using the System tag for DemandPoll, the MQTT client should trigger a new Modbus acquisition and also get the new set of values published immediately.Can you suggest how the scan rate in Modbus and in IoTGateway should be configured?Regards,  

I have a mashup with an advanced grid that displays data coming from sql server database. I want to be able to add and remove rows in order to add or delete row data. I was able to add two two advanced grids. Grid one showed all my data and grid two was empty. I was only able to select multiple rows by holding ctrl button. That's the only way I could pass data to the other advanced grid. Is there another way of doing this? I want a user within the mashup to be able to add/delete rows.

Hello, i keep getting these info server stats every 30 mins and would like disable it. any suggestions?
