Using a Data Table in a Viewsheet

A Viewsheet can be based on a Worksheet. The Viewsheet will have access to all of the Data Tables its underlying Worksheet, regardless of whether the tables are marked as Primary.

To create a new Viewsheet based on an existing Worksheet, follow these steps:

1. Click the 'New Viewsheet' button in the Visual Composer toolbar. This opens the 'New Viewsheet' dialog box.

2. In the 'New Viewsheet' dialog box, expand the 'Global Worksheet' or 'User Worksheet' folders, and select the Worksheet on which the Viewsheet should be based.

3. Click 'OK' to close the dialog box and open the new Viewsheet.

Alternatively, right-click the desired Worksheet in the Asset Repository, and select 'New Viewsheet' from the context menu.

 

To see which Data Tables of the Worksheet are accessible to an existing Viewsheet, follow these steps:

1. Open the Viewsheet in Visual Composer.

2. Expand the top node in the 'Component' tree. (This node has the same name as the underlying Worksheet).

 

The top node lists all of the Data Tables in the underlying Worksheet. Although you can insert these tables directly into the Viewsheet, it is more typical to bind the Data Tables to Viewsheet input and output controls that provide visualization and exploration capabilities.

For more information on using Worksheet data within a Viewsheet, see Quick Start: Creating a Viewsheet, and the rest of Dashboard Design.
