Data Binding the Gauge Component

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am Fairly new to design studio and am still learning my way around the tool.

My question is how do you Data bind the Gauge Component in SAP Design studio 1.5 ?

Looking at the Properties layout; I am Unable to locate the Assign Data-source field.

Here is a screen shot of what I am looking at.

Hello Anthony,

You can use it by scripting by using script like that in your "On Startup"

GAUGE_1.setShowedValue(DS_1.getDataAsString("Your Measure", {}));

GAUGE_1.setIndicatorValue(DS_1.getData("Your Measure", {}).value);

Hope it can helps you.

Regards,

Jonas.

Hi Anthony,

What version of Design Studio are you using? Where can I find "On Startup"? Could you please post a screen shots of the steps you are following to bind data to the gauge.

Thanks

You can find "On Startup" in every version of Design Studio.

On your "Outline" panel (basically in the bottom left of your Design Studio), select your application (the item on the top)

Then in properties panel, you will find "On Startup".

Select it and use the script i gave you.

Regards,

Jonas.

Hello Mo

has captured it nicely,you need to be on the Application level for you to access the on Startup properties under the events tab

The screen shots below will explain a bit more as well.

Thank you Jonas/Anthony I was able to navigate to the script editor "On Startup" however I have run into another silly issue. I'm new to jquery or style sheets and not familiar with the syntax:

In the below code, I tried entering "Amount" which is my measure but I still get an error (I tried removing the quotes as well)

Below is my initial view:

Thanks

Mo!

You have to get the internal key of your measure to do this. use CTRL+space to find your measures and it will works

Okay I got that one. However this has no change on the gauge? I had initially set the indicator value and Showed value to 50 manually?

Gauge properties window:

In

Also what if I have to use multiple gauges in my dashboard?

Thanks

Hum... binding data won't change value in properties but at the execution of your application.

Also, to have multiple gauge you have to... set several gauges in your dashboards that all...

This is from the Open Source SCN package, judging by the screen shot.  This is an older component written by who is no longer active on SCN, best I can tell.  His component doesn't seem to be data bound, however Karol or I can add the new bindable property to the 'Showed Value' property so that you can make it data bound, if this would help.

This version of the gauge component was actually written by , based on my design. Just thought I should give credit where credit is due.

Nicolas,

Thanks you are absolutely right.  I mistakenly dredged up your initial post:

Antonio AND you deserve credit, and Karol ported it over to our community package here:

However as it stands I believe you and Antonio it is safe to say haven't had the time to revisit this in a while so Karol or I can make some of these properties data bound all the same.

Thanks for reminding me about Antonio!

That will be very Helpful ,Currently Learning my way around Design Studio with a requirement that uses the gauge component.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Mike,

In the latest community package out there, is the gauge component data bound and if not I did read somewhere that you were planning on working on it? When do we anticipate the release.

[mike_howles4]

When I get around to it, so somewhere between today or next year

(j/k, kinda...) I'll try to put something out next week unless someone else in our open source group does it first.

[Former Member]

sure, looking forward to it.

Thanks

Whose gauge component are you using?  I don't think the base Design Studio 1.5 has a standard gauge component

Hi Tammy,

I got the gauge component as an Extension,which as I now realize was  WIP
