Making a shape pass a value to a local session variable in a new card
It is possible to configure a shape so that when it is clicked by a user, a new card opens and a value is passed to a local session variable on that card.
Configuring the shape data field
Add the following two additional shape data fields to a shape that opens a card when clicked (i.e. a shape linked to an element, a service, a view, etc.):
| Shape data field | Value |
|---|---|
| SetVar | VariableName:Value “VariableName” is the name of the session variable, and “Value” is the value that should be assigned to it when the shape is clicked. |
| Options | NewCardVariable |
Note
- This feature is not operational in visual overviews that are shown in the DataMiner web apps (e.g. in the Monitoring app, the Dashboards app, and low-code apps).
- Passing session variables when navigating to elements using an application protocol (e.g. SRM Booking Manager) is supported from DataMiner 10.3.0 [CU14]/10.4.0 [CU2]/10.4.5 onwards.
