Basically, there are two possibilities to maintain the features of graphomate trellis: with the Standard Properties Sheet, which lists all parameters in a structured list or with the Additional Properties Sheet. The latter provides a user-friendly interface. 

The Checkboxes next to the features in the Additional Properties Sheet are used to control the visibility of elements.

The chosen Data Source can only be attributed to the component via drag&drop or via the Standard Properties Sheet under Data Binding.


Clicking the F5 key reinitializes the canvas as well as the Additional Properties Sheet. This is sometimes necessary when changes in the Properties are not directly accepted in the canvas.

General Tab

Styling

You can find general styling settings here, like Padding and row height.

Enabling Column Width Fixed lets you specify a Column Width which will be applied to every column in the graphomate trellis, except for the first one. A horizontal scroll bar will be displayed to accommodate total widths exceeding the available space.

The colors for all the visualizations can be refined using the three parameters Data Color, Good Color and Bad Color. The label are generally colored using the Data Color and are further modified by the Text Font Size.

Save Options

Use the option Enable Saving at Runtime to enable the end users to save their current configuration until their next visit to the graphomate trellis. Disabling this setting also clears all saved configurations. The information is saved in the local storage of the used browser, so they do not persist across browsers or devices.

Value Format

Select the format of the table values:

  • Basic
    Select the format of the absolute and percentage values according the guidelines of numeral.js.
    Locale sets the label country format in the Basic mode. DE, FR, EN and AUTO are available options. Choosing AUTO the Locale is retrieved from the Data Source.

  • Extended
    If a fixed format is preferred, put the format for absolute and percentage values here. Choosing a “(“ in the box Negative Sign will show negative values in brackets: (1234). The parameter in the box Scaling is used as a divisor for scaling the data label. The resulting “format string” can also be set via scripting language.


Please visit the section Number Formatting for further information.

Import Konfiguration

To help the end user with a useful starting configuration the designer can specify a preset configuration. For the a dashboard with the graphomate trellis can be started and configured to fit the users needs using the runtime UI. A configuration can then be exported by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Q + E. A small input box will open at the top of the page. Its content string can be copied by clicking it, marking it with Ctrl + A and copying it. Now switch to the Additional-Properties-Sheet and paste the string into the text box in the Import Configuration section.

Activating the checkbox Load Preset Configuration will now result in the configuration beeing loaded every time the graphomate trellis is started

Please keep in mind that this configuration is dependent in other conditions. For example, changing the data source will invalidate most selections and therefor break the imported configuration. the graphomate trellis will not start in this case.
