Hi  I have created a chart extension configuring the line chart from the custom chart widget extension package v 3.0.3 downloaded from the p t c marketplace. While using the extension the values are being displayed properly but in my chart extension the Selected Row Changed trigger function is not working ie. when I select a point from the chart I need to invoke a service. I had achieved this while using any inbuilt chart like for example a label chart. When I used a label chart I used the selected row changed to invoke a service which I had written.(This was working perfectly as required, I needed some additional features than the inbuilt chart I had to make the extension). But this same functionality(i e. Selected Row Changed) is not working using a extension chart widget. I would like to know if there is any way I can configure my extension to get triggered by the Selected Row Changed or is it that the Selected Row Changed works only with inbuilt charts like the label chart or

Hi, as part of my testing I am trying to generate a property change on a property that has a remote binding to a property on a remote thing. Because the property is remotely bound I am unable to set it via the composer.   I have a test utility thing and was hoping to create a service that would generate a server side property change event (I have successfully done this for remote thing events previously). I see that there is the option, but I'm unsure how to use it. I have selected a remote thing and inserted the DataChange event into my service, but there doesn't seem to be any way to set the property name.   I have selected a remote thing (KH061) and inserted the DataChange event into my service, but there doesn't seem to be any way to set the property name.   var params = {newValue: undefined /* INFOTABLE */,oldValue: undefined /* INFOTABLE */};Things["KH061"].DataChange(params);     Presumably the 2 infotables (attached file) match the ones you see when su

Are there any guidelines for the implementation work?

Hi,   Could it be possible to connect ThingWorx Platform with Unity3d so that if any live sensor/simulator data (i.e. property values) populating on the ThingWorx platform can also be mapped to the components of Unity3d AR application just like Vuforia Studio?

Hi,   I am trying out few operations on templates via java sdk. One of the use case is getting all the thing names that are derived from a particular template. According to the documentation, a simple invokeService call to GetThingRelationships should get this done cleanly. The service expects an input of maxDepth we want to keep searching the things. (e.g. vehicalTemplate -> CarTemplate -> ElectricCarTemplate -> TeslaCar1Thing, TeslaCar2Thing, TeslaCar3Thing etc ).   When tried to execute the call via java sdk -  client.invokeService(RelationshipTypes.ThingworxEntityTypes.ThingTemplates, "templateName", "GetThingRelationships", new ValueCollection(), 30000)  throws exception stating - Invalid service name.   Same goes for other services like - GetImpletementedShapes, GetThingTemplate etc.  Are these not the valid services for  entityType templates? If so, why are they listed under Services section of my template in composer UI?   I

Hi, I made a service like thousands of others. But one thing baffles me, output of this service which is Infotable, is also editable. I have never seen this before. As far as I can tell, there is no option in composer, nor in datashape nor in service output which would indicate that this even possible.  What is goin on.  Screenshots explain what I mean. One service's output looks like any other (non editable output), one is almost the same in a nutshell but output is editable.  Anyone? Editable:   Standard:   

I'm trying to locally install ThingWorx Foundation trial on an Ubuntu 18.04 Azure VM. I was following the Foundation Linux Install Guide found on the developer portal, and was able to get to the last step where everything is installed when the setup errored out with message: "Failed to install dependencies: Chef Client". I found an article, "ThingWorx Installers 8.5 and Q&A", that states the "Support of Ubuntu is not there for the automated installers, it is still there for ThingWorx itself." How do I proceed to install the trial if the automated installer is not supported? I need to install with SSL.

I using layout widget to divide to three section.   I wonder if there is a difference between dividing three sections into one header 2 columns and 3 columns.    

Hi there,Today I found an issue in Thingworx 8.4.Here I have a Thing with 5 attributes(F1/F2/F3/F4/F5) with Value Stream configured.Now I uses service of SetPropertyValues to update all attributes in the same moment.- 1st time set to 11/12/13/14/15,- 2nd time set to 21/22/23/24/25.So there should be 2 rows in Value Stream.But I found 3 rows instead, the 2nd update has been recorded into Value Stream in 2 different ms. Impact:In Analytics, if we set Dataset as time series data, the training model will track data back, by comparing current cycle VS last cycles, while for last cycles data are queried from Value Stream.So if we cannot make sure all features/attributes are updated in the same moment(in same row of Value Stream), then the model will check with false data. Please check it.

Hello, I need a workaround to display the latest 5 notifications , which I have in an infotable(only a way to visualize the data is required). What I need is a widget / workaround to display the notifications in a small popup in the same mashup and at the end of the notifications I would like to have a button to navigate to another mashup. I have used Mashup as popup and it is navigating to a popup page where the popup comes at the middle. I need it to be in a corner. To see exactly what I mean I am attaching an image which show the visualization   Kindly suggest any workarounds or widgets which I can use to make it look like the popup in the image.   Thank You

Hi,  Value Display has big changes in Thingworx 8.5,  which lead to lots of issues:  1.  The render property cannot set style anymore. (It's a known regression issue of feature lost I think) 2.  It's allowed to set style theme on value display, but:       2.1  The style theme doesn't work in a contained mashup for value display(for example, text color doesn't take effect)      2.2  The style theme must be same in the same mashup (limitation)      2.3  The element in style theme doesn't has value display(limitation) 3.  The base style properties cannot only control the "novalue" property,  if the the value bind to value display to data,  then the style can NOT be controlled.  4. The html of value display introduces "shadow dom" , but the customCss editor doesn't allow to use ^ or ^^ to access the dom from the parent .  I understand of the purpose of shadow dom is to spearat

Hi, I want to fetch the propertyDefinitions of a thingTemplate. I am calling GetMetadata service on the template -  client.invokeService(RelationshipTypes.ThingworxEntityTypes.ThingTemplates, "MyTemplateName", "GetMetadata", new ValueCollection(), DEFAULT_TIMEOUT);  This returns an empty propertyDefinitions infotable. The call works fine for entityType Things.   The rest call - GET <server>/Thingworx/ThingTemplates/MyTemplateName returns all the properties under path "effectiveShape/propertyDefinitions" in the response json.   How can I get the same using java sdk?   Regards, Vaishnavee
