  • 1.  Using Dashboard Parameter as DataLinq Key Value

    Posted 10-05-2020 16:10

    Bit of a newbie here. Is there a way to send a Dashboard Parameter value to Xpression into a DataLinq Key value?

    We are doing ESPN+ volleyball and the ESPN Dashboard custom panel makes it look like we can enter a jersey number into a spinner, then trigger a take ID of an item which is using jersey DataLinq Key to pull the player data from StatCrew. Since I can't DataLinq a DataLinq Key (as far as I know) to the Dashboard parameter (spinner), I can't figure out how to make this connection between Dashboard and Xpression.

    Above are the tasks of those buttons... I can't figure out where this "uniNum" parameter is used. Maybe that is intended to send it over to the DataLinq key? "Jersey_Num" is the spinner.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Austin, for a short answer YES. But there are several steps you have to do first.

    1-Create your datalinq keys by name

    2-Tie a hidden text object to each of the datalinq keys you intend to use.

    3-Add a short script that will assign a text input to a datalinq key you have chosen.

    4-Set the data source in datalinq. 

     

    and so on.

    It might be easier to do this via email. msthorpe57@gmail.com
