Team,
I am a newbie to Thingworx and might be my question might be simple.
a)I want to have separate color for each cell in the Grid based on a threshold value.
b)I want to do a navigation to another screen when i tap on a particular column.Similar as for other columns.
c)How can i populate dummy data in the grid for a Prototype.
Thanks
Thomas
<!>a) A.) <!>To have separate colors based on a threshold
value, you will have to create a state definition, which can be found under
Visualizations on the Thingworx Explorer. You can then assign this to the rows or
columns in your grid from the mashup, or assign them to both. For more
information on this, please refer to the Grid widget section (04.04.03.14 ) in
the Wiki documentation where you will find more details on configuring grids. <!>b) B.) <!>Unfortunately, navigating to a mashup from
selected columns can’t be done with the grid widget alone, but there are other
ways of accomplishing this in a similar fashion. You can use navigation widgets
in the header of a layout and a repeater widget to do this.<!>c) C:) <!>There are various ways to populate the grid with
dummy data, and this would be determined By the way in which the data will be
used. A little more information about your use case would help to determine the
best way. Will this be time series data
or typical database storage?
Thanks Saeed for providing valuable info.For the part C,to answer your question it willl be in a Database.Can you please elaborate with an example for part B.
Thanks
Thomas
Thank you that information. Just for clarification, are you interested in just clicking on the column headings to navigate to a particular mashup or are you navigating to a mashup based on a particular column entry?
Thanks saeed for the quick reply.I am looking for clicking on a particular cell in a grid,take the values to the new Mashup.
Thanks
Thomas
Hi Thomas,
Now that I fully understand your use case, the method I suggested earlier isn't feasible.This functionality isn't incorporated into Thingworx for the time being. I'll bring this up to our development team, and if this changes in the future, I can notify you. As for populating the table with dummy values, you can create a service that populates a DataTable using for loop. More information on DataTables can be found in the wiki at 03.14.01.
Thanks,
Saeed
Thanks Saeed.I got the following statement from the Grid Wiki page
"DoubleClicked - the DoubleClicked allows you to have a single click select on the data object, but still use a double click for another event, such as linking a double click to trigger a navigation link. "
Will this help me in any way.
Thanks
Thomas
The selection would be based of off that row and not a particular field in the row. If you would like to navigate to a particular mashup at the click of a row, this would be possible, but at the click of a particular field within the row would not.
OK,Can i navigate to a mashup on clicking any part of the row.i mean any cell in the row takes me to a single mashup.
Thanks
Thomas
Instead of using a grid, you would need to use the repeater widget and another Mashup to emulate a grid.
