BI Integration questions

Hi,

1) We are showing the result of a (detailed) BI query in a table in Visual Composer.

What are the recommendations / best practices with regards to the query's result lines ? If you don't suppress the result line it comes through in the table like any other regular line which looks quite messy. However, suppressing the result line(s) is not always possible neither since some (sub)totals are required in the VC table. Any ideas ?

2) From one table in VC we jump to another (detailed) table via a button "view detail" which is used to trigger the event to jump to another layer. However, our end-users don't like that they have to click the button and wonder if it is possible that the 2nd table is displayed automatically if you click (or double click) on a line in the first table ? Is this possible or do you always technically need the button ?

thanks

Hi,

1) Maybe the best way is to suppres the sum in every table because of the reasons you already mentioned. You can show the result in an other form view (input field or label). So you will not have the sorting porblems.

2) Benjamin told you the best solution for doing this. You could try to use the select event but the first row of the table is always selected and the layer will be changed immediatley by starting the app.

3) I think the best solution is to define a screen resolution for the application. For example you develop the application for 1024x768 or bigger. Some users will have to scroll and others will have blank space, but in my experience it is always better then using the fit-width / fit-height options.

Regards

Hi Double U,

I think it is impossible to jump immediately "on-select" to the detailed view, without clicking a button. However, you can include a button "details" in every line of the table. Thus, your end-users only have to make one click on the button of the required line, instead of selecting the line and clicking on a button => 1 click less. It might take some time to make it look good, though.

Best Regards, Benni

Thanks Benjamin. That seems indeed a good workaround.

If anyone has a suggestion for the BI results line question please share.

3) I have one other small question. I noticed that our VC applications are extremely depenend on the screen resolution. Since our end-users have different computers with different screen resolutions it's impossible to test our application on all these screens. Is there any hint that someone has in this area ? Some resolutions really screw up the layout completely.
