  • 1.  Can a struct table inside a widget access params in the main dashboard?

    Posted 10-28-2024 14:07

    So the app I'm making will have a lot of struct tables, each one pointing to a different team roster.

    I could just copy and paste, but I'm wondering if a custom widget is the answer.

    Ideally, I could point the struct tables to use a selected param in the main dashboard by using the select params dropdown.

    Hi David.

    Yes, a widget can access any parameter in the panel. Typically we would use the baseoid attribute to change which parameter you want to feed as the 'main parameter' for the widget though people also use config parameters in to manage this (either one works fine).

    What you will want to do is not define the 'struct table' inside of the widget and instead have the widget access the struct (either a top-level or a struct within a struct) from the outer panel.

    Do you have a small example?

    Actually, after reading your problem again, I think you can probably get away with something a little easier than a widget.  A widget is really handy if you want to reuse something in a lot of places (so if you had the table and a lot of other functionality you were looking to place in a number of locations or panels).  If you have one UI and you just want to point it at different data sets, you might be better served by params.updateParamView.  Below is an example using this to switch one table between 5 separate rosters.  If you still want to go down the widget road, we can also look at that but I'd like to get a sense of the combination of things you're trying to do.

  • 5.  RE: Can a struct table inside a widget access params in the main dashboard?

    I got the widget to work.

    I'm making a dashboard for gymnastics where there's 2-6 events.

    Each widget is connected to at least 2 different tables.  One for the team, and one for the roster of players.

    So, I have 6 event widgets.

    When the operator selects which team is going to compete in each event, Im going to change the baseOID of the widget.

    setBaseOID('team1'), etc...

    At least that's the plan, but Im open to ideas.

    Ok, I do actually need help with the widget.

    The struct table lives inside a widget  because there's a bunch of these.  I want the structtable to change it's base parameter, based on a few other params the user has selected.

    I tried params.updateParamView, but it didn't work for me.
