System Controls

System controls are outlined in this topic.

Caution!

If these controls are deleted, the dashboard may stop working correctly.

Allow2D3DSwitching

Holds configuration information for pic2D and pic3D. Values can be TRUE or FALSE.

AllowChartPivotSwitching

Holds configuration information for picChart and picPivot . Values can be TRUE or FALSE.

CloneImplements

Blank for frames that are not prototypes. Prototypes tell the Wizard the services that the frames are capable of handling when they are created or copied from the prototype.

drp42D

Not used by standard functions. Custom functions overriding pic2D can use this control to hold configuration information.

drp43D

Not used by standard functions. Custom functions overriding pic3D can use this control to hold configuration information.

drp4Autosize

Holds configuration information for picAutosize. Values can be TRUE or FALSE.

drp4AutoZAxis

Holds configuration information for picAutoZAxis. Values can be TRUE or FALSE.

drp4Chart

Not used by standard functions. Custom functions overriding picChart can use this control to hold configuration information.

drp4ChartType

Holds configuration information for picChartType. Values are the multiple available chart types and can be TRUE or FALSE.

drp4Export

Holds configuration information for picExport. Values are the section names that can be exported. If only one value exists, clicking picExport calls the export function, otherwise a list of sections is displayed.

drp4Help

Not used by standard functions. Custom functions overriding picHelp can use this control to hold configuration information.

drp4Language

Not used by standard functions. Custom functions overriding picLanguage can use this control to hold configuration information. The picLanguage code acquires values from Globals_EIS.

drp4Legend

Holds configuration information for picLegend. Values are the legend controls available and can be TRUE or FALSE.

drp4Pivot

Not used by standard functions. Custom functions overriding picPivot can use this control to hold configuration information.

drp4Print

Holds configuration information for picPrint. Values are the section names that can be printed. If only one value exists, clicking picPrint calls the print function, otherwise a list of sections is displayed.

drp4Word

Not used by standard functions. Custom functions overriding picWord can use this control to hold configuration information.

EmbeddedTargets

Holds a map that identifies the section represented by embedded objects; for example;

Object~Pivot1|Type~5|Target~Lead Pivot
Object~Table1|Type~4|Target~Top 5 Table
Object~Chart1|Type~6|Target~Revenue Chart

It is not possible to discover the embedded object name if using the Interactive Reporting Studio object model. The label is used to construct a set of arrays when the frame is first initialized. Open the Script Editor and use the object browser, the names are illustrated as part of the frame object model.

Programmers that must manipulate underlying charts, pivots, or tables associated with the objects can use these arrays: Qiq_arrPivot, Qiq_arrChart, and Qiq_arrTable these are single dimensional arrays that contain the section names represented on the frame. Qiq_arrFrameObjects is a two-dimensional array. These arrays are created when the frame is first activated.

This is an array structure example:

Qiq_arrFrameObjects[0][0] = Pivot1
Qiq_arrFrameObjects[0][1] = 5
Qiq_arrFrameObjects[0][2] = Lead Pivot
Qiq_arrFrameObjects[1][0] = Table1
Qiq_arrFrameObjects[1][1] = 4
Qiq_arrFrameObjects[1][2] = Top 5 Table
Qiq_arrFrameObjects[2][0] = Chart1
Qiq_arrFrameObjects[2][1] = 6
Qiq_arrFrameObjects[2][2] = Revenue Chart

FrameType

A value in the range 1100–1199 for Oracle frames or a value in the range 1200–1299 for third party frames.

Implements

Keywords that tell the Wizard whether the frame occurs in a step of Dashboard Studio. These keywords include:

ASSOCIATE1

NAVIGATE1

LIMITS1

STYLES1

STARTUP1

FRAMES1

HOME1

PrototypeName

Frame prototype name from which the frame was derived.

txlAction

Control that is currently using drpAction. Enables the generic control handler to identify which code to call in response to a click event in drpAction.

txlClass

Plug-and-play component that handles the frame. See Dashboard Development Services Components.

txlCustom

Holds JavaScript that overrides or extends a base control; for example, 1100 Custom.

txlMe

Holds JavaScript that handles base controls; for example, Globals_EIS.

VersionInfo

Contains information used by the version control and update software used by Oracle.
