List Widget Dropdown Option

You now have the ability to select a Dropdown list in addition to a Fixed list when creating a widget. Visual creators can select either Dropdown or Fixed list. The benefit of this enhancement is that selecting Dropdown reduces the onscreen footprint of the widget, enabling a cleaner appearance. In the Visual gallery, select the widget you want, and then select the Fixed List radio button or the Dropdown radio button for the List Filter Settings.

When you select the Dropdown radio button, and save the widget, Composer changes the Selection Behavior radio button to Single. Users will not be able to make multiple selections from the drop down list that Composer displays.

Library Embedding

This enhancement enables an embedded self-service experience where you can view and manage available objects, and acts as a launch point for building new dashboards. Prior to this enhancement, you could use the API to fetch lists of your dashboards and visuals and build a completely customized visual/dashboard management experience. Now, you have the option to use our pre-built library. The benefit to this new approach is that you can quickly build out a self-service framework for your customers and end users.

createComponent Method

You can also customize your Library component with specific parameters using the createComponent method of the Embed Manager, similar to the way you embed Dashboard and Visual Builder.

• The createComponent method accepts ('inventory', {inventoryItem: 'dashboard'}) as the first parameter.

• The render method is available for an object created after the createComponent method execution.

You also have the option to embed via script by selecting from your Library:

 

Upon selecting the embed icon, Composer displays a dialog box containing the code needed to embed:

The Library is embedded with settings provided in the createComponent method.
