Wiring applications in mashboard

Unfortunately, the Grid view doesn't support setting the selected row, so the use case you're trying to set up won't work. Which is why it isn't showing up in Mashboard. (And I need to clarify the area of what events our built-in views support some more in documentation.)

You can use a Grid view in an App to publish the event of a user selecting a row. In order to have this selection event update the selected row in another App that uses a tabular layout, however, you would need a couple of things:

1. A mashup or mashable that produces the second set of data and also has an input parameter for the client name.

2. A custom App that produces that tabular layout for the mashup/mashable from #1. This custom App would need to have a property for the client name, a subscription topic that contains that client name property as a property of the subscription and a handler method for the subscription that would set the selected row for this App.

You can then wire your simple Grid view from the first App to the custom App subscribing topic and get the results you want.

Hi,

I have also same like this. i have one apps as  a Grid view and another apps as Bar chart. now i need to select one row from girdview, change the information in chart apps based on my selections in grid view.nw what i to do in Wires by using those Apps?

Well, first, this is not something you do in Wires. Wires works with mashups not Apps. To wire basic Apps (created in the App Maker wizard using views like Grid or Bar Chart) so that they interact based on events in one App, you use Mashboard.

This is a different use case which you probably can do in Mashboard. The underlying use case, as it stands today, for updates from Mashboard wiring in a basic App is this:

1. Click in App A on grid publishes a message with the data from that row.

2. If App B with a Chart subscribes to rowClick event for App A, you can wire any of the data from the published message to any of the input parameters for App B. Typically input parameters to the App are actually input parameters to the underlying mashables or mashup for that App.

Updates to properties in the basic App B, cause App B to invoke the mashable or mashup with the updated input parameters, and the new results cause the Chart to refresh with new data.

If this is what you want, simply add your grid and chart Apps to Mashboard and wire them with grid as the publisher and chart as the subscriber. Map the data from the rowClick event in grid to the chart properties as needed. See http://www.jackbe.com/prestodocs/v3.0/mashboard/mashboard-intro.html for instructions on creating workspace Apps in Mashboard and links to other topics (on wiring).

If you need some other behavior, you will most likely need to make App B (with the Chart) a custom App and provide the logic to get the required behavior. You can find documentation on creating custom Apps and enabling custom Apps to support interactions and wiring at:

Hi,

Thanks for reply..

Actually i did that what u saying.. i gave input parameter to Apps B.. If i choose a row from Apps A then Apps B is refreshing,but it ll not show that particular data which i choosed a row from Apps A... For that what i have to proceed.. Shall i need to create Custom Apps instead of Apps B rit?

Hm. I think we need more information about the specific Apps and how you have wired them.

Can you take some screen shots? Or tell me: 

1. What data is in a row of your Grid App?

2. What columns from that row did you map to input parameters in your Chart App?

3. How is the data for your Chart generated? If it is coming from a mashable or a mashup, do the input parameters cause the mashable or mashable to find different data and return that? Or is the data for your chart coming from static information, such as a CVS or XML file?

Hi,

 here i attached my screenshot.. am using presto 3.1.1 version In the grid i selected a row of Customers name and i mapped based on Customers name in that column chart...it doesnt show the particular customer column frm the column chart when i choosed a row of customer name frm grid...

The data is coming from XML file...

Hi,

In presto how can we do some animations for more interactive mashups? can u tell me have some idea regarding this?

i need to do some animations in charts something like news moving,blinking ,flash some datas on charts(bar,column,grid and any other chart) for more visual capabilities..

with Regards,

kalai

To do the kind of animations you are talking about, you need to create custom Apps and provide the code to do the animations.
