How to indicate story pages and regular pages on page list

eriena · 2021-09-14T00:15:03+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Domo has two types of pages : story pages and regular pages.

I would like to create a list of pages that I manage like this.

Usually I use the Governance dataset when I list up page info, but the Governance dataset seem not to have a column that could output about the page type.

Could you give me some advice if you have any ideas on how we can list page types?

I think you can use the Activity Log to determine which pages are a story page and which ones aren't. I just converted a standard page to a dashboard page and two events were created in the activity log: Organized Dashboard and Edited Dashboard.

You could create an ETL that would look for this event and then create a distinct list of pages with this event. You could then join to your full list of pages and be able to indicate which is a standard page and which is not based on the join results.

Hi, @amehdad21, @GrantSmith , @MarkSnodgrass

I'm glad to know your answer to my question.

Thank you so much!

I think it would be convenient if the filed of "Page type" is in Governance dataset, so I would like to post my request on 'Ideas Exchange' and also try to request this to my customer representative.

As a solution up to that point, I would like to follow the advice of @MarkSnodgrass .

I also tried to search the Activity Log for hints.

When I create a standard page, Activity Log indicate as follows.

Object type = Page

Action = CREATED

When we create a story page, the action below come up at the same time.

Action = PAGE_LAYOUT_ENABLED

When I cancel story page, the action below come up.

Action = PAGE_LAYOUT_DISABLED

When I delete the story page, 2 action come up.

Action = PAGE_LAYOUT_DISABLED

Action = DELETED

Based on these hint, in case of that count of PAGE_LAYOUT_ENABLED > count of PAGE_LAYOUT_DISABLED

The page would be story page.

I hope page type filed will be added Governance dataset in the near future.

Thank you!!

Hi @eriena, the Governance Dataset connector currently doesn't have the field 'Page Type' or similar, so it's worth making a request for that in 'Ideas Exchange' or asking your Customer Success representative to investigate in anticipation for the next version update (It looks like it was last updated in April). As a workaround, you can create a beast mode. An example is:

CASE

WHEN 'Page ID' = '1234567' THEN 'Story'

WHEN 'Page ID' = '2345678' THEN 'Regular'

ELSE 'Not Mapped Yet'

END

You would continue to manually add in different instance of your pages. Hope that helps.

You may be able to utilize the API to determine which type of page it is but it wouldn’t be a supported API and is a very technical solution. It would be nice if the governance or domostats datasets contained the page type
