Facility Control

Hello Dashboard Experts,

Is there any way to add a confirmation box to Dashboard which will ask "Are You Sure?" when a user hits a button? I am making a "Reset Control Room" button in Dashboard which will send the correct commands and GPI triggers to reset the switcher, router, multiviewers, etc to a default state. I want to protect this button so people don't click on it by mistake during a show.

I'm not sure if there's anything like that, but why don't you use tabs to hide it in a different tab within your custom layout? So have one tab with all your other buttons, then an "Advanced" tab with the "Reset Control Room" button in it.

Your best bet is to make a button parameter of type "Prompt Button". This will cause a confirmation prompt before the task is executed.
You can further customize the prompt by specifying a "configuration attribute" called w.changeprompt

Also of interest, you can add w.changeprompt to a number of parameters to force a confirmation before changing a value... but for what you're talking about, a "button-prompt" parameter is the correct type.

<abs contexttype="opengear">
   <meta>
      <params>
         <param access="1" constrainttype="INT_CHOICE" name="Destroy Everything" oid="Destroy_Everything" precision="0" type="INT32" value="1" widget="button-prompt">
            <config key="w.changeprompt">Do you want to reset everything?</config>
            <constraint key="0">Reset World</constraint>
            <constraint key="1">Reset World</constraint>
         </param>
      </params>
   </meta>
   <param expand="true" height="104" left="17" oid="Destroy_Everything" style="style:toggleButton;" top="17" width="165">
      <task tasktype="ogscript">ogscript.debug("RUN SCRIPT!");</task>
   </param>
</abs>

Hi, the code snippet above to make this work isn't showing up for me. Can you repost? Trying to make a similar confirmation prompt.

Hi Gene.

I do have the original example - it appears that something has happened to the posted code when we updated the Community software.

Here is a similar example that shows how to add a change prompt to a parameter.

<abs contexttype="opengear" style="">
   <meta>
      <params>
         <param access="1" constrainttype="INT_CHOICE" name="Param To Change" oid="Param_To_Change" precision="0" type="INT32" value="3" widget="radio-toggle">
            <constraint key="0">Value 1</constraint>
            <constraint key="1">Value 2</constraint>
            <constraint key="2">Value 3</constraint>
            <constraint key="3">Value 4</constraint>
            <constraint key="4">Value 5</constraint>
            <constraint key="5">Value 6</constraint>
         </param>
      </params>
   </meta>
   <param expand="true" height="133" left="17" oid="Param_To_Change" style="style:toggleButton" top="12" width="702"/>
   <param expand="true" height="133" left="15" oid="Param_To_Change" style="style:toggleButton" top="155" width="702">
      <config key="w.changeprompt">Are you sure you want to do this?</config>
   </param>
<label height="54" left="721" name="&lt;- No Prompt" style="txt-align:west" top="46" width="196"/>
   <label height="54" left="722" name="&lt;- Prompt" style="txt-align:west;" top="190" width="196"/>
</abs>
