TW Basics: How to use ThingTemplate Mashup and drive it from a query?

[emoreira]

Hello All,

I have a service that queries all the Things that have a certain property value and I would like to have it to drive the values of a Mashup that I will use as a template.

Tried to play with the ThingTemplate Mashup but I seem to be having trouble passing the EntityName for the mashup. Actually I am also having trouble to pass the Entity for a Dynamic Service too.

Anyone that could point me to the right piece of documentation? I am struggling with the search engine as filtering is not so easy.

Thanks

Passing parameters using Mashup parameters is an integral part to what you can do with Thingworx. You don't even need a ThingTemplate mashup, you can add parameters to a regular mashup.

Depending on what you are looking to do, your parent Mashup would have your service and render the information in a list or grid etc. and then you use the Data Source's Selected row to pass in information into your contained mashup.

Thanks.

I already found a way to do it for Dynamic Services, passing the Thing Name as a string, but did not have success to pass an entity to the Thing Template Mashup.

For now I was able to do what I wanted with a regular mash but I was curious to understand how the Thing Template Mash works.

Thanks

Hi Ewerton,

Did you get the working of ThingTemplate Mashup?

Hi Tarun,

I gave up from this. I actually used the mashup and session parameters to accomplish what I needed.
