Adding and Duplicating Sections

Adding and duplicating sections relates only to dashboard sections. Other sections do not contain JavaScript and are outside the domain of Dashboard Architect.

*  To add or duplicate a section:

  1. Select Project, then Add Section.

    Add Section is displayed.

    1. To add a section, select Create a New Section.

    2. To duplicate a section, perform an action:

      • Select Duplicate an Existing Section

      • From the navigation panel, select a section node, right-click, and select Duplicate

  2. Enter a Name for the new or duplicated section, and click OK.

    The section is added or duplicated.

Dashboard Architect provides for the creation of sections in these ways:

  1. The new section is added programmatically (or copied from a section if duplicated).

  2. Instrumented.bqy is closed.

  3. Instrumented.bqy is disassembled.

  4. Instrumented JavaScript is added to the OnActivate() and OnDeactivate() events.

  5. Instrumented.bqy is reassembled.

  6. Instrumented.bqy is reopened in Interactive Reporting Studio.

A matching section with all basic event handlers is added to Dashboard Architect. If the section is duplicated, a copy of all original event handlers is inserted into the node in the navigation panel. The operation is relatively fast.
