Smart Text as a Variable
At the card level it would be beneficial to know what the current operating environment is for a card and leverage that information in a beast mode. For example, if there were a "system variable" that stored what the current "Graph By" selection is, like what is already available in Smart Text, then you could have a beast…
Variable control at card-level does not ever show all variables
The UI on the variable control when looking at a card in Expand Details mode is not big enough to actually work with the variable. It seems to only populate 2 options, and the scroll bar makes it super hard to actually see what they are. Unlike Quick Filters, which expand to the height of however many items are in them…
BeastMode code to take one value from each category
This question is going to be really difficult to describe, but I will try anyway. I am trying to get a unit count for each facility, the problem is that bc we filter by time and different facilities can gain units over time, I can not just have one row per facility, I have a row for each month. That being said I need it to…
Multi-Select Variable
The ability to toggle a variable to be multi-select (in string type only) that will create a comma delimited string of all the values selected from the variable.
Increase Variable Description Display Options
Currently if your Variable Description is too long, it just cuts off with … and there is no hover interactivity. Please allow more display options for the Variable control descriptions on a dashboard, such as word wrap or display on hover.
Period over Period Beast Mode
I have the following Beast Mode working for a comparison table (Period over Period is the name of the variable: CASE WHEN Period Over Period = 'Week over Week' THEN (CASE WHEN WEEK(Date) = WEEK(CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 WEEK) AND YEAR(Date) = YEAR(CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 WEEK) AND DAYOFWEEK(Date) <= DAYOFWEEK(CURDATE()) THEN…
Sort or Re-Sort Available Values in Variable List
Variables continue to be a game changer for our company. One particular use case we have implemented is to create a variable with a list of all item attributes. As the list has grown the available attributes are no longer sorted in a logical way (for example, alphabetical A-Z). I think everyone could benefit from the…
Same Variable Name on Different Datasets
Hello, I was wondering if there's a workaround to use the same variable name across different datasets? Right now it seems like variable names need to be unique and used across the instance. And so when we try to create some generic names, the variables would need to have different names. Is it possible for one set of…
Include Variable modifiers inside a filter card
I have my dashboard set up so that the filter options displayed are modified by the value of the variable. EX: notice how the filter by time options change depending on the time frame adjuster value in the screenshots. This is the best way I have found to do it, but my employers find it still extremely unintuitive. I think…
Can you set a default a value for a control that may be different than a default value on dashboard?
We have set a control value set on the card, but once we drop it onto a dashboard, the default value changes. In this first view you will see we are using filter cards to set values within the dashboard. Here is this view is our default value on the card, which is what we want this card to use. Then here is what the card…
