Single TimeRangePicker powers more HiddenSearches

rantravee — Wed, 07 May 2014 16:48:58 GMT

Hi,

As the title mentions I would like to know if it is possible to have a single timerange picker to control some other hiddensearches . Whenever the timerange value would change that would trigger all the hidden searches to start

At the moment I have something like this :

<module name="TimeRangePicker">     

    <module name="HiddenSearch" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1" group="Applications" autoRun="True">
        <param name="search"> .... </param>

       <module name="HiddenChartFormatter">
         ........
       </module> <!-- HiddenChartFormatter --
    </module>


    <module name="HiddenSearch" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col2" group="Dynamic Apps" autoRun="True">
        <param name="search">...</param>    
        <module name="HiddenChartFormatter">
           <param name="chart">pie</param>
            .........
             </module> <!-- HiddenChartFormatter -->
    </module>
</module>

Thanks

Hello,
It is possible.

Start the "Timerangepicker" module and end after the last "Hiddensearches" module is over.
Don't mention any earliest or latest parameters in search or in for the modules.

Thanks

it also needs to have specified the layoutPanel

and you only want one autoRun="True" attribute in the view, and it should be at the top on the TimeRangePicker, not on the Search modules. If you download the latest Sideview Utils from http://sideviewapps.com/apps/sideview-utils , aside from all the other stuff in there, it has a great docs page called "overview of the advanced xml" that is definitely worth reading.
