In the Dashboards app, this feature is currently still in preview. For more information, see Soft-launch options. However, it is fully available in the DataMiner Low-Code Apps.
In the Dashboards app, this component is available in soft launch, if the soft-launch option ReportsAndDashboardsButton is enabled. In the DataMiner Low-Code Apps, it is available by default.
In the Component > Settings tab, click the configuration icon next to On click and select the action(s) you want the button to execute. See Configuring low-code app events.
Fine-tune the component layout. In the Component > Layout tab, the following options are available:
Label: Determines which text is displayed on the button.
Icon: Allows you to select an icon to be displayed next to the label.
In the Dashboards app, the soft-launch button component can be used to execute the action of a button parameter. As such, it must be configured with button parameter data.
In case the component displays more than one parameter, in the Advanced > Layout section, you can adjust the way the different items are displayed:
Layout: Determines whether the different items are displayed next to each other or below each other. However, note that when the items are viewed on a small screen, they will always be displayed below each other.
Maximum rows per page: Determines how many items can at most be displayed below each other on a single page.
Maximum columns per page: Determines how many items can at most be displayed next to each other on a single page.
The Button text option allows you to customize the text that should be displayed on the button. By default, the button displays the same text as in Cube.
Optionally, configure the following settings in the Component > Settings tab:
To use a custom polling interval for this component, in the WebSocket settings section, clear the checkbox and specify a different polling interval (in seconds).
In case the component displays more than one parameter, configure how the parameters should be grouped: by parameter, by element, by table index (if relevant) or by all the above together.
In case the button triggers an Automation script, additional settings will also be available related to this script.
Depending on the script configuration, it may be possible to configure the parameters and/or dummies used in the script. For each of the parameters and dummies, a checkbox allows you to select whether these are required, i.e. whether the script can be executed only if these are filled in.
Note
The input for an interactive Automation script can be specified by the user or retrieved via linked data. In case both are possible for the same component, user input always takes precedence.
In case several data is linked to the component, they are considered in the order they were added. For example, if 2 data sources are used and the data that was first added is applicable, the second data input will be ignored.
Ask for confirmation: Determines whether the user will be asked for confirmation before the script is executed.
Show success popup: Determines whether a pop-up message is displayed when the script has been successfully executed. By default enabled.
Custom success message: Allows you to configure a custom message to be displayed when the script has been successfully executed.
Note
From DataMiner 10.2.5/10.3.0 onwards, the output of an (interactive) Automation script can be used as data for other components, for example in a GQI query.
