Extension Object

[#1]

Hi Community

Just a quick question regarding extension objects!

Is it possible to do things like set vairiables from an extension object?  If I had a chart with a list of names for example, could I click on a name, set a varible and then use that variable in another object on the dashboard?

Thanks

Hi,

This is possible, check the link below

JsDoc Reference - Qv.Document

{void} SetVariable(name, name)

Set a variable.

Example: var doc = Qv.GetDocument("Films"); doc.SetVariable("Var2","test");

Parameters:

{String} name

The name of the variable to set

{String} name

The new value for the variable

Hi Mark

Thanks for the response, is it only achievable through the script?  My knowledge of java script is weak at best.

Thanks

Hi,

This will depend on what the extension is doing.

If it is already making the selection on a field you could make a trigger that sets a variable on field selection,

But I think if this was the case then you wouldn't need the Variable.
