I'm still struggling getting some basic xml tokenization concepts working in Dashboard studio.
I have a simple text box input someone types into. from there, I want that to set a token that I use in the base search. Next thing I want to do is take a field value pair in the results and set the value in a token to use in another panel thats going to fill in a URL and grab an image
so:
Base ds_lrth34 datasource:
Textbox -> Chain Search off ds_lrth34 that runs
.. | fields MyField
I want to do something that I would have otherwise done this way in simple XML:
<set token="myField">$result.MyField$</set>
but I havent found a structure to make this work at all so that when I create an image viz I could do something like this:
"visualizations": {
"viz_TRhGkelt": {
"type": "viz.img",
"options": {
"src": "https://myCompany.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/userphoto.aspx?AccountName=$MyField$&Size=L"
}
}
},
This is heavily utilized methodology in our simple xml dashboards, I would love the right way to tokenize things like this in the new workflow.
*really* need this functionality. Any idea when it will become available? @elizabethl_splu
Hi @wryanthomas - thanks for following up! We're actively developing enhancements for tokens support, and hope to have some updates to share with you soon!
Hi @mjones414 - thanks for your question.
What you're looking to do - use a search result as a token value - is not yet supported, but is actively being developed!
