The configuration file contains a set of JavaScript functions called by the update script at crucial points in the process. The configuration file enables the update process to be refined or customized to suit your requirements. Together with the new sections file, this configuration file updates Dashboard Studio templates or documents.
The Dashboard Development Services Update Utility enables you to move values from the contents of text labels, drop-down lists, and lists from the old dashboard sections that are to be discarded, and copy them into the equivalent shapes of the new sections when they are inserted into the Interactive Reporting document. The configuration file is used to identify the text labels, drop-down lists, and lists in the sections whose values are to be transferred when updating a file. Values to be maintained must be specified in this file.
Refer to the JavaDoc within the configuration file on how to customize the configuration file and the update process.
Two configuration files are provided with the installation; JavaScriptUpdateConfig_dds.js and JavaScriptUpdateConfig_blank.js. You can customize either file, however, JavaScriptUpdateConfig_dds.js works specifically with Dashboard Studio.
