sliceDashboard

sliceDashboard(T.Label: text) by T.‘a 🡒 ordinal, special

This functions activates a special display behavior for the dashboard referred to as slicing. When a dashboard is sliced, only a single slice is visible, plus all the non-sliced elements. This function can appear at most once in a script.

table T[t] = with 
  [| "Pants" as Product, "Blue" as Color |]
  [| "Cap",              "Red"           |]
  [| "T-shirt",          "White"         |]

T.slice = sliceDashboard(T.Product) by t

show table "One slice at a time" a1b3 slices: slice with
    T.Product
    T.Color

The sliceDashboard function does several things:

• It introduces a slice selector drop-down in the upper-right corner of the dashboard.
• It creates a table named Slices along with slice its primary dimension.

Slicing happens at the row level for tile inputs. This behavior is controlled via the slices: tile option.

sliceDashboard(T.Label: text, T.SubLabel: text) by T.‘a 🡒 ordinal, special

Behaves like the one-argument variant of sliceDashboard, but includes a sub-label that appears under the main label of the slice.

table T[t] = with 
  [| "Pants" as Product, "Blue" as Color |]
  [| "Cap",              "Red"           |]
  [| "Cap",              "Green"         |]
  [| "T-shirt",          "White"         |]

T.slice = sliceDashboard(T.Product, T.Color) by t

show table "One slice at a time" a1b3 slices: slice with
    T.Product
    T.Color

While the value of T.Label must be the same across all lines of a slice, it is possible for T.SubLabel to take up to 255 distinct values. By default only the first one is shown, but searching in the slice selector will search through all provided sub-labels.
