widget parameters

Hi Suleiman,

Thanks for reaching out to support with your issue.

It sounds like you're looking for a report canvas item that can output report field content?

Perhaps I'm not understanding the "description" context fully, maybe you could provide a screenshot of the report to better illustrate the scenario?

I did some testing and it doesn't look like this is possible in current versions, however, I think you might be able to accomplish what you are seeking in upcoming versions. I did not see the option in the Report Design area in beta versions yet, but it is defined as an objective to have the same report-output functionality at the report level, as I am now seeing at the dashboard level -

As you can see, the dashboard canvas designer now includes reports as well as charts as addable elements. I'm thinking a potential solution here would be to make a simple report with your description data, and add it to the canvas. I can confirm this functionality is still on the developers' list if you think this sounds like what you're looking for?

Thanks,

Eric

Hello Eric ,

just to clarify my point for the "description" , first : im not looking for visual report like bar chart or Pie chart , let assume that I have some data about the hospitals and the city where that hospital located , I want the sectors and the the hospital to appear in the report , so exactly im looking for an option in canvas to view the name of the hospital and the city as a text .

I do hope this help and let me know if you need more clarifications.

im willing to have a quick call with you to show you the report , if that suits you.

Hi Sulieman,

I'd be happy to have a quick call if it works for you. I'm available today 10/25 10 AM- 4PM Mountain Time. Is there a time that works for you?

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Sulieman,

Thanks for taking the time to meet with me today. I'm going to reach out to my colleagues to determine whether there is a way to display the data you're looking for in a widget format. Also whether there's the possibility of adding this type of widget to the canvas. I found a task that relates to the functionality you're looking for -

"Implement report-output custom element and use it in Active Canvas"

This is being rolled out in upcoming version 9.0, and may only apply to dashboards initially. I will find out additional details regarding the enhancement and pass them along. Based on the response I get, I'll either create a new task or add your organization to the existing task, provided this update will suit your needs. I'll keep this status In Progress for now; and should have these answers for you on Monday.

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Sulieman,

I sepnt a little more time investigating this today, you may have success using the multi chart canvas with user-prompt filters and a calculated field with your desired output -

Does this look like a possible solution in this case?

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Sulieman,

Just wanted to check in to see if you had a chance to review my suggestion here?

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Sulieman,

It's been over two weeks since I've received a reply here, so I'm going to go ahead and mark this ticket as Completed at this time. Feel welcome to re-open with a reply if you experience additional related issues.

Thanks,

Eric

Hello Eric ,

I’m so sorry for the late reply , I was  traveling and have limited access to the email , I just reviewed your suggestion and what I’m looking for is to get the “state” on the canvas not the numbers (I already knew how to get the numbers on the canvas).

Hi Sulieman,

Thanks for the clarification.

I found a possible workaround in our community -

https://community.yellowfinbi.com/topic/is-there-anyway-to-create-dynamic-text-fields-in-reports

Another possibility I dug up -

If you really want to do this with a treemap, its already possible. - I created this example in 7.3

• First you need to put a metric into the colour field so you can access the colour settings and override them to be just white

• Next go to the label settings and set the font you want

• Turn off the legend

• Turn off the tooltips

And then you get this chart:

There's the "numeric display" chart, however it only works for dimensions, there has been a request for a similar "text display" chart, which would be an idea I could add you to.

Let me know how you'd like to proceed here.

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Sulieman,

Sorry about that, I have updated the post with what should be working images now. let me know if this is a possible solution, and/or if you'd like to be added as an affected client to the developer task.

Thanks,

Eric

Thanks Erick ,

I thought about workaround before and tried it before but the problem will be thedifferences in the size of the box if there is more than 1 result, knowing that the metric that I added is fixed for all the cities.

Attached screenshot to show you the situation.

Hi Sulieman,

I see what you mean here. In this case, I think if you have a bit of patience, it's best if we hold off for the upcoming canvas improvements in our new versions, which will allow you achieve what you're looking for quite easily. We should have builds available for testing in the next week or two. Would this be an acceptable solution for you?

Thanks,

Eric

Sounds great ! Thank you very much Eric.

And can you please update me when this new development is available?
