Vuforia Studio Experience Manager

Glad you think this is an improvement and thanks for sharing your feedback! This is helpful for the product team as in defining how experiences are managed

Hi @Ike@ACE , thanks for reporting this issue!

yes currently this seems not to work, but I do not believe that the experience manger has an implementation issue , I believe that the current issue is based on an issue of the data Grid widget (and possibly also the repeater) which lead to the incorrect wrong display in the Experience Manger. So this what was reported in https://community.ptc.com/t5/Vuforia-Studio/Data-Grid-Widget-Appears-to-not-be-working/m-p/869073#M11631

I reported some time ago this issue to PTC R&D team as Jira VTS-1469. and fix is ready and need to be released soon. In the post mentioned above I will announce when the fix is release, so I am sure that this also will be solved with this. 

Hi @Sandy_Gunner ,

because some time ago  I receive a question  about that post I see that it is sinse longer time not answered. So try to proivide here some answer.

The quesiton is how to add information in additional field.

So 2 points.

• What are the informaiton what we can add:  That we can when we print the results of  

  $http.get('/ExperienceService/content/projects/', { ...​

  e. g. console.warn(  app.mdl.experienceService.svc.getProjects.data)  to print the info to the preview chorme debugging consoel Cntrl+Shift+I

so we can see that e.g. there also different informaiton what we can also see e.g. the understructure publishData what we can access then to display e.g. the following 

So that filed setting could be then - something like that:

"item.publishData.projectSize + ',' +item.publishData.publishedBy + ',' +item.publishData.publishedData"

• but here is the second point how to add the field. That is currently not supported on that way to do that but mostly it will work. Becuase the supported way is to add a service from thingworx and when the service is executed one time it provides a fields what could be attached / via binding directly in Vuforia Studio UI. 
• because the service is executed in javasecript on run time we can not use it during design time in  the UI. The current workaroudn is to use a similar service from Thingworx which deliver the same resutls and the first attached it to the proejct to have the fields to create the data grids and later switch the related field  to the results of the internal call.
• What not supported technicues what work in the current functionality / not supported means that R&D team do not pay attention for furhter compatibility /  - this techniques is to edit the json file for the view and add this manually . Here in the example we have the Home view /also as start view. So we need then open e.g. in my project

  \VuforiaStudio\Projects\Experience_Manager-AddFields\src\phone\components\Home.json​

  and copy the field Experiences:

  //.....
  ,
   {
   "attributes": {
   "twx-widget": "",
   "widget-id": "content-column-3",
   "widget-name": "content-name-3",
   "is-widget-container": "true",
   "label": "Experiences"
   },
   "name": "twx-data-grid-col",
   "children": [
   {
   "attributes": {
   "class": "twx-widget-bindings",
   "slot": "bindings",
   "ptc-rendered": ""
   },
   "name": "twx-widget-bindings"
   },
   {
   "name": "twx-container-content",
   "children": [
   {
   "attributes": {
   "twx-widget": "",
   "widget-id": "content-label-3",
   "state-format-value": "text",
   "widget-name": "content-label-3",
   "text": "Label"
   },
   "name": "twx-label",
   "children": [
   {
   "attributes": {
   "databind-id": "db-1528229159002",
   "source-type": "data",
   "source-label": "",
   "source-name": "experienceService",
   "source-item-type": "service",
   "source-item-name": "getProjects",
   "source-item-field-name": "name",
   "binding-type": "collection_item_field",
   "from-expression": "item.metadata.experiences[0].title.en + ',' +item.metadata.experiences[1].title.en + ',' +item.metadata.experiences[2].title.en",
   "to-property": "text",
   "base-type": "undefined",
   "shape": ""
   },
   "name": "twx-databind"
   }
   ]
   }
   ]
   }
   ]
   }
  //....​

  copy and past in the Home.js and change to new values  the names of widget Id  widget name and databind-id --> the values /names should be not used in the Home.json

  ,
   {
   "attributes": {
   "twx-widget": "",
   "widget-id": "content-column-new1",
   "widget-name": "content-name-new1",
   "is-widget-container": "true",
   "label": "publishData"
   },
   "name": "twx-data-grid-col",
   "children": [
   {
   "attributes": {
   "class": "twx-widget-bindings",
   "slot": "bindings",
   "ptc-rendered": ""
   },
   "name": "twx-widget-bindings"
   },
   {
   "name": "twx-container-content",
   "children": [
   {
   "attributes": {
   "twx-widget": "",
   "widget-id": "content-label-new1",
   "state-format-value": "text",
   "widget-name": "content-label-new1",
   "text": "Label"
   },
   "name": "twx-label",
   "children": [
   {
   "attributes": {
   "databind-id": "db-1528229159777",
   "source-type": "data",
   "source-label": "",
   "source-name": "experienceService",
   "source-item-type": "service",
   "source-item-name": "getProjects",
   "source-item-field-name": "name",
   "binding-type": "collection_item_field",
   "from-expression": "item.publishData.projectSize + ',' +item.publishData.publishedBy + ',' +item.publishData.publishedData",
   "to-property": "text",
   "base-type": "undefined",
   "shape": ""
   },
   "name": "twx-databind"
   }
   ]
   }
   ]
   }
   ]
   }​

• That will display the info in the field as schowend in the picture above . Of couse you can create /split it to 3 different fields but in this case you need to add 3 different columns - here for the sake of simplicity I used only one but for the 3 properties. The property from-experession should be changed to the experession what we want to add here

 "from-expression": "item.publishData.projectSize + ',' +item.publishData.publishedBy + ',' +item.publishData.publishedData",
