Inconsistency in displaying Collapse/Expand buttons in dashboard

mythili — Tue, 18 Jun 2024 08:01:40 GMT

Hi Team,

We are currently using Classic XML and have made the panels Collapsible/Expandable using HTML/CSS with suggestion from below thread:
https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/How-to-add-feature-expand-or-collapse-panel-in-dashboard-using/m-p/506986

However, sometimes during first dashboard load, both the "+" and "-" sign are visible. This happens occasionally, so I am not able to find the cause for this. Do you have any suggestions or ideas to fix this?

Thank you!

In order to be able to debug your code, it might be useful to see your actual code, or at least a cut-down version of your code which demonstrates the problem. Also, does it occur with large dashboards, or only small ones? Does it occur with fresh browser instances or old? Does it occur with different browsers or just one? Which browser(s) does it occur with? Any other information like this might give a clue as to what it happening.

Hi @ITWhisperer ,

Please find below the cut down version of the code:

<init> <set token="showExpandLink5">true</set> </init> <row depends="$alwaysHideCSSStyleOverride$"> <panel> <html> <style> div[id^="linkCollapse"], div[id^="linkExpand"]{ width: 32px !important; float: right; } div[id^="linkCollapse"] button, div[id^="linkExpand"] button{ flex-grow: 0; border-radius: 50%; border-width: thick; border-color: lightgrey; border-style: inset; width: 32px; padding: 0px; } div[id^="linkCollapse"] label, div[id^="linkExpand"] label{ display:none; } div[id^="panel"].fieldset{ padding: 0px; } </style> </html> </panel> </row> <row> <panel> <title>Chart title</title> <input id="linkCollapse5" type="link" token="tokLinkCollapse5" searchWhenChanged="true" depends="$showCollapseLink5$"> <label></label> <choice value="collapse">-</choice> <change> <condition value="collapse"> <unset token="showCollapseLink5"></unset> <set token="showExpandLink5">true</set> <unset token="form.tokLinkCollapse5"></unset> </condition> </change> </input> <input id="linkExpand5" type="link" token="tokLinkExpand5" searchWhenChanged="true" depends="$showExpandLink5$"> <label></label> <choice value="expand">+</choice> <change> <condition value="expand"> <set token="showCollapseLink5">true</set> <unset token="showExpandLink5"></unset> <unset token="form.tokLinkExpand5"></unset> </condition> </change> </input> <table rejects="$showExpandLink5$"> <search> <query> My query </query> </search> <option name="drilldown">none</option> <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option> </table> </panel> </row>

It occurs in both larger and small dashboards but not often. It occurs mostly for fresh browser load. It occurs with different browsers, I tried with Chrome and Edge.

Do you have any suggestions on this?

Try using a single show token

<init> <unset token="showCollapseLink5"/> </init> <row depends="$alwaysHideCSSStyleOverride$"> <panel> <html> <style> div[id^="linkCollapse"], div[id^="linkExpand"]{ width: 32px !important; float: right; } div[id^="linkCollapse"] button, div[id^="linkExpand"] button{ flex-grow: 0; border-radius: 50%; border-width: thick; border-color: lightgrey; border-style: inset; width: 32px; padding: 0px; } div[id^="linkCollapse"] label, div[id^="linkExpand"] label{ display:none; } div[id^="panel"].fieldset{ padding: 0px; } </style> </html> </panel> </row> <row> <panel> <title>Chart title</title> <input id="linkCollapse5" type="link" token="tokLinkCollapse5" searchWhenChanged="true" depends="$showCollapseLink5$"> <label></label> <choice value="collapse">-</choice> <change> <condition value="collapse"> <unset token="showCollapseLink5"></unset> <unset token="form.tokLinkCollapse5"></unset> </condition> </change> </input> <input id="linkExpand5" type="link" token="tokLinkExpand5" searchWhenChanged="true" rejects="$showCollapseLink5$"> <label></label> <choice value="expand">+</choice> <change> <condition value="expand"> <set token="showCollapseLink5">true</set> <unset token="form.tokLinkExpand5"></unset> </condition> </change> </input> <table depends="$showCollapseLink5$"> <search> <query> My query </query> </search> <option name="drilldown">none</option> <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option> </table> </panel> </row>
