How to Display Data in Charts Guide Part 3

 

Step 6: Configure Charts

 

You now have a test Thing that has an Info Table Property and Time Series Property with values appropriate for display in various Chart Widgets, as well as a Mashup with those charts inside.

However, in order for the Widget to display data, you need to bind it to the data source.

 

Bring Data into the Mashup

 

  1. Select the Data tab in the top-right section of Composer.

  3. In the Entity Filter field, search for and select DDCThing.
  4. In the Services Filter field, type GetProperties.
  5. Click the right-arrow beside GetProperties
    • The GetProperties Service will now appear on the right under Selected Services.

Check the Execute on Load box under Selected Services.

    • This will cause the GetProperties Service to execute as soon as the Mashup is loaded.
