Conditionally showing or hiding a page of a Visio drawing

A page of a Visio drawing can be shown or hidden:

If a page is hidden, it will not be displayed in the tree view of a card navigation pane.

Note
  • If a user opens the Visual pages of a card, but all Visio pages are hidden, e.g. because of conditional hiding, a line of type Info will be added to the Cube logging to indicate this.
  • For an example, see Ziine > Visual Overview Design Examples view > [misc > CUBE ONLY] page.

Depending on the current value of a parameter or a property

Add a shape data field of type Options to the page, and set its value to:

Visible=[ParameterOrProperty];Condition;Condition;...
Hidden=[ParameterOrProperty];Condition;Condition;...
Note
  • The parameter or property is evaluated only when the page is (re)loaded. The page will not suddenly appear or disappear when the parameter or the property gets updated.
  • Currently, only the [param:...] and [property:...] placeholders are supported with this option.

Examples

If you use the following option, the page will be visible if property VisiblePage contains "Value3":

Visible=[Property:VisiblePage];=Value3

If you use the following option, the page will be visible if parameter 177 of the current element does not contain 0, 1 or 3:

Hidden=[Param:*,177];=0;=1;=3

Condition operators

Operator Description
= equal to
>= greater than or equal to
> greater than
<= less than or equal to
< less than
!= not equal to
Note

String values can only be compared using "=" or "!=".

Depending on the DataMiner client application that is being used

By specifying that certain pages should be hidden in DataMiner Cube or in the DataMiner web apps, you can optimize your drawings for the type of client application where they will be used. This way you can for example hide pages using "Cube only" features in web apps, or make pages for use in for web apps only.

To do so, add a shape data field of type Options to the page, and set its value to:

Hidden=Cube|Mobile

For example, if you specify "Hidden=Cube", the page will only be shown in web apps such as the Monitoring app and the Dashboards app.
