Is there any way to make graphs and tables in mashup change according to the data and filters

[BP_10210965]

I was creating a project, and I ended up having 30+ dashboards/mashups for output. Among these mashups, only the display info-table/Table structure is different (the column values are different for almost all of them). Is there any way I can reduce the number of dashboards/mashups, by having the mashup adjust the displayed table to different rows and columns automatically?

Since hosting 30+ mashups for output is too much load on my tomcat server, I need a simple method to make the mashup based graphs and tables adapt to the data and filters selected instead of having a full mashup for every different selection of data and filters .

Have you looked into using 'contained mashups' and then pass your data or part of your data in using Mashup parameters?

The thing is I have different number of columns in different tables, due to which this solution will not work.

So in the old Grid you can use 'Show All Columns' to show data without a DataShape

I believe in the new Grid you can provide the DataShape dynamically.

There are I think a few widgets now where that is possible, so you could generate the DataShape dynamically (in memory not actual entity) or provide the actual datashape into those widgets with your data.

I haven't done this myself, so I can't help you beyond this point

At least regarding Grids you can dynamically adjust the displayed columns and general settings via a JSON. It is a bit time consuming to create the config JSON with a custom service for each of your cases, but you need only one grid widget for each situation.

I think for graphs it is a bit difficult to implement a generic approach. I think I would stick to Pais approach and use contained mashups for each graph.
