  • 1.  Data Source - User Control Datalinqed to Dashboard

    Posted 03-17-2025 04:02

    Hi!

    I'm building a Dashboard that will receive commands from XPression in order to fetch the wanted data for a specific template and I'm able to set parameters in Dashboard based on what the user selects in the XPression MOS plugin in Inception / or normal sequencer. 

    So for instance in standing, if the user selects "Premier League" then that value can be passed on to the Dashboard, triggering a GET request to the data provider. 
    What would be really amazing, and here's where I need some help, is that I want to update the text list / datalinq list from Dashboard. 
    Let's say I want the user first to select the soccer league in the first text object, that value is passed on to Dashboard triggering it to fetch all teams in that league, the Dashboard can now update a list/parameter with all the teams in that league. So the next text object the user sees will now have updated data of all the teams and can select one. 
    I think I'm on the right path, but are not able to get any data from a specific parameter when using Dashboard datalinq XML (represent as XML enabled), if it's not xml however, all parameters is shown it the list, but we're talking 1000s..
    Do you know how I can make it look at only one parameter?

    Did you know that when you create parameters in Dashboard, if you name them Home.Jersey, Home.Name, or Home.LastName, they will be grouped under a parent node called "Home" in XML mode? The parameters Jersey, Name, and LastName will appear as child nodes within the Home node.

    Thanks Simon, that's great advice, I was not aware. 

    As for getting the datalinqed text-list to update in XML mode, is that not possible? The list is just empty in the sequencer. If I turn off xml-mode, then all parameters in the Dasboard are visible in the list.

    Did you click include parameters names in config?

    No, should I?

    And let's say I want to expose the names to the operator (Home.Name), then I double-click this line?
    No matter what I choose the list in the sequencer is empty.

    Hey Chris, my apologies I just tested myself and I also cannot get dropdowns to work with XML only with table.
