slicepicker

slicepicker, tile type

The slicepicker tile provides navigation controls to select a slice from the Slices table.

Example

table Parameters[p] = with
  [| as Product, as LeadTime, as Color |]
  [| "Pants", 12, "Blue" |]
  [| "Cap", 7, "Red" |]
  [| "T-shirt", 5, "White" |]

table Slices[slice] = slice by p title: Parameters.Product

show slicepicker "Product parameters" { 1..6, 1 in top }

show table "Selected product" slices: slice { 1..6, 1..6 } with
  Parameters.Product
  Parameters.LeadTime
  Parameters.Color

When the slice “Pants” is selected, the table shows:

Remarks

Only tiles with a slices: option are affected by the current slice selection.

In the new dashboard layout, slicepicker supports block positioning such as show slicepicker "Product parameters" { 1..6, 1 }. In this positioned form, the tile does not accept a with body. The entries are taken from the title: and optional subtitle: arguments of the slice by table declaration. Put the selected slice details in a separate sliced tile, such as a show table tile with the slices: slice option.

When a new-layout dashboard declares a Slices table and contains no tile in the top region, Envision automatically places the dashboard title in columns 1 through 8 and a slicepicker in columns 10 through 12 of that region. Placing any tile in top disables this default, so use an explicit show slicepicker to control its position.
