  • 1.  Parameter Data between Tabs

    Posted 12-04-2025 12:56

    Just wondering if/what/how ... the best procedure from getting parameter data within the <abs> </abs> from one Tab and using the resultant variable/value in another Tab. Would giving the Tab an 'ID' be a good method to address the particular param value? Something like this: <abs id="tab1" name="MyTab">

    If anyone has a suggestion for this, a little code snippet would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Let's close this off. The answer is  .... it's not a problem so long as you carefully track how you setup your parameter structure.

    Not sure if I understand the question...

    But all parameters are accessible throughout the entirety if the DashBoard, regardless of where you wish to use it.
    Unless we're talking between two individual DashBoard files?

    Thanks for the response, but since I posted the question, I have a much better understanding of passing data and parameter declarations between the Tab abs structure. Essentially, it breaks down to the fact that Dashboard tends to put a Tab to 'sleep' when you switch to another Tab. You are correct that, for the most part, the data is globally available but you do have to be very careful if you expect to push a button in one Tab setup if it relies on data from another Tab setup.

    Just a heads-up that if you have a panel that contains cruital data and you do not want DashBoard to ever put it to sleep, you can add keepalive="true" to the top-level tag and this will tell DashBoard not to unload it when it is looking to free-up resources.
