The functions of this tab are used to exchange templates for the graphomate matrix. Connect to the graphomate server - a free component of graphomate GmbH - to store or load a graphomate matrix template. This way you can exchange preconfigured graphomate matrix designs between BI frontends that support the graphomate server. Currently these are: Power BI, Tableau, Excel, Lumira Designer, Web Intelligence, SAP UI5, SAC.

Server

Here you enter the URL of the graphomate server to which the component should connect and from which you want to save or retrieve templates.
If you have entered the URL to the server, a green check mark indicates that a connection could be established.
If another server is used later, the button next to the save button can be pressed and the server URL can be edited.

The hyperlink "Admin" allows you to jump to the admin area of the graphomate server.

Templates

If the current settings are to be saved as a template, a new template name can be entered in the input field labeled Create Template and confirmed by clicking the Save State button. If the entered name complies with the naming convention, the template is saved on the server and a toast with the corresponding message is displayed in the lower part of the graphomate property sheet. However, if the entered name does not meet the expected naming conventions, an error message with the permitted characters is displayed accordingly.

With Choose Template templates stored on the server can be retrieved and applied. To do this, the desired template must only be selected and the Apply button must be pressed. If you want to delete a template, you have to select the template in the list and press the Delete (bin symbol) button. If changes have been made to the templates on the server side, you have to click on the Refresh button. Changes should then be visible.

Editability

With the Editability function it is possible that certain cell areas of a graphomate matrix can be edited at runtime. For this setting you use the Editabiltity Assignment.

Editability Assignment Pop-Up

  • Editable: This Boolean property allows to (de)activate the rule.
  • Filter (optional): A list of filter objects. Each filter object can restrict a dimension to certain members. Only data corresponding to the members specified for the dimensions selected in the filter will be editable.
  • Description (optional): Defines a description for the set configuration.
