Reuse Load Script in multiple dashboards

Tue, 20 Nov 2012 12:46:03 GMT

I have a few dashboards/QVDs, and there is some of the load script that I reuse in each. If make a change I have to remember to open each Dashboard and update each script. Is there I way I can have this part of the load script saved somewhere and point to it, so I only have to maintiain 1 copy?

If it's about including only some code snippet, not the complete data model, check out HELP -> system variables -> $(include=filename)

You could also use files to store specific parts of your code and reuse them in all qvw, for example :

$(Include=..\qvc_runtime\qvc.qvs)

Rob Wunderlich has done that in an excellent way :
