I want to pass the value from one analysis to another analysis. Can I use presentation variable for this purpose? If not what else can I use
A presentation variable can be set by prompts, not an analysis. To pass a value it depends on the kind of action you have in place to go from analysis A to B. If it's a custom built link you can add the value as filter in the URL, if it's a navigation you can use the columns of the analysis A which are sent automatically by the link etc.
Keeping it short: no, your analysis A can't set a presentation variable for analysis B, you must use a prompt to set it or use an alternative way of sending values via the navigation.

I'm using Google Data Studio to visualize results from various queries (from different tables within the same BigQuery-database).
For this reason, I created and use multiple data-sources-connectors. Each one of them has a SQL query included and makes use of an defined input parameter (which can be changed by report editors) - called "userid". It is the same id for all queries and resulting charts.
However, when I click "Manage URL parameters", I'm not allowed to use the same URL parameter for more than one data source (instead they are called ds0, ds1, ds2 etc - although they all end up being used as "userid").
If I add a data source under File - Report Settings, a new field "userid" appears, which I can alter - this will update ALL charts in the report with the very same userid (as expected). This works, but I do want to make use of an url which delivers an report with all updated queries depending on ONE userid.
Therefore, I guess I'm overseeing something - it should be possible to just use one query parameter to update the same "userid" for all queries in all data connectors? Or have I overlooked the possibility to fire multiple queries within one data source connector? Or is it expected to create a looong url full of redundant query parameters in this case?
I'm curious for your input!
Best regards :)
There does not seem to be any good solution for this.
For now the best workaround seems to be to just repeat the parameter multiple times -- it's ugly but it works. For example, use the URL parameter mapping screen to call the parameter u1, u2, etc., and then just pass all of them:
?params={"u1":"foo","u2":"foo"}
(URL encoded of course)
The ugliness is mostly for us developers: it violates our sense of DRY and clean code, and makes the URL much longer than it needs to be. However, most people don't care or know about the URL parameters so its irrelevant to them.
The bigger downside is that when the URL is distributed to clients (bookmarks, mobile apps), every time new data sources are added that require the same URL parameters, a new URL has to be distributed to clients for no good reason. A workaround for this is to build the URL dynamically via a simple redirector function.
This issue https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/180705297 is a feature request to implement this capability.
If you group the elements that you want to control with the same parameter (select and then shift G) then it will give you options to select the data source and the params box to apply to the group.
On the saving of Case record I want to assign the case to respective Agent based on case type , sub type and Client/Account,
I have a Assignee field on Account form which I need to get the Agent's name to Assign the case.
I am creating a custom workflow activity for that, but while writing it I stuck how to fetch Case forms record on which I apply logic.
Please suggest what is the good approach, do I need to make a retrieve call to fetch these parameters or something else.
While setting the Custom Step Input Properties drop down fields are not populating to select the Dynamics Values.
Better to use plugin, as the documented/supported preimage is available in plugin steps + flexible.
You have to look for type, subtype, etc in target entity (incident in your case) or preimage if needed to apply logic.
If you still want to use workflow, go ahead & follow this article.
we can always read Pre image and Post image in the plug-in for various purpose. However, in workflow, we may sometimes want to read Pre Image for some purpose. Now we can also read Pre Images and Post Images in the workflow using Execution Context. It uses the same Plug-in Architecture and hence we can use it to read Pre Images and Post Images. However, this concept is not documented in the SDK so it might be unsupported.
I have a section Template'Section_library',in 'Section_library' i have a field 'first-name' who recuperate the value field from another section in my form so i used this expression
xxf:component-context()/root()/form/Section_TWO/mycontrol.
this expression not worked totally,the recuperation is done when i try to write in this field 'first-name'. i want a solution that automatically recuperate the value within any interaction of user.
I find this issue #3008 but i didn't understand it.
As of 2016.2, there is no reliable and supported way for code inside a section template to access information about the form it is used in. This is by design, but there are reasonable use cases that call for a section template being able to access things from the "outer form", and you're correct pointing to RFE 3008. For now I'd recommend you follow this issue.
I need to build an application wherein the admin must be able to define forms for data entry. The data to be entered is unknown to me. But the system will need to be able to support all the possible form fields (minus hidden fields, I suppose). So text areas, text fields, radios (with ability to specify what the options are), checkboxes, etc. Also, it needs to be able to support line item entries (similar to EE’s Matrix plugin).
Obviously, I don’t want to try to build this from the ground up. Are there any libraries I can use in CI to make life easier for me?
If none exist, what are some database design patterns I should consider for such a problem?
The best database-design for this is the Entity-Attribute-Value Model. For use with a FORM, essentially your form is the ENTITY, the Attribute will have a type (used for deciding how input will be captured, and data interpreted). Make sure that you index properly.
Remember that you'll only need to data to change the form, don't read from this model everytime you need to show a form. Store a flat file (.json is handy) of the finished form and read that when displaying the form.
I have some property OwnerId that has each page in my application. I need these property to create HttpWebRequest and get some data. But when the application deactivated and activated again the page as deleted and created again, so these property is 0. I can't save these property in PhoneApplicationPage.State , because these property is different for different pages, so when I go twice back I can get error. I think to take it property after application activated from NavigationService.BackStack pages.But I'm not sure it is right. How can I do it ?
Aram .. thanks for explaining the question better.
Now, while your application is in the foreground, how are you managing all these different OwnerIDs? A collection? I am guessing you don't have multiple instances of the same page; but rather pass query parameters along to indicate which OwnerID/UserID should be used to display appropriate user info. You could put the whole collection in State dictionaries with a key & hydrate/dehydrate during the application lifecycle. Makes sense?
Thanks!
I'm not 100% clear on whether you need a setting for each page or just a single setting for the app. In either case your best option (IMO) is IsolatedStorageSettings (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.isolatedstorage.isolatedstoragesettings(v=vs.95).aspx)
If you just need a single setting then there's no problem but if you need one for each page you will need to do something ugly like using the page name as the key.
