Set selections and filters

The Function Flow widget supports the filter and selection functionalities of MashZone NextGen dashboards. You set filters and selections to define relations and interactions between several dashboard widgets.

The Function Flow widget can be used to set a selection or a filter in other dashboard widgets. Furthermore, single functions or connections of the widget can be selected by other widgets. Additionally, the entire widget can be filtered by other widgets.

Details on how to use filters and selections can be found in the MashZone NextGen Online Help.

For setting selections and using coordinates in other widgets, keep the following in mind:

Functions can be selected by setting the NodeName coordinate or by setting the function measure coordinate. In single selection mode, the selection may be assigned ambiguously. That is, there is more than one function with the same value. In this case, a function is selected randomly. If the multiple selection mode is enabled and there is more than one function with the same value, all functions are selected.

If the widget is used in Process Mining context mode, a function can also be selected using the coordinate for the function name, similar to the NodeName coordinate.

Connections can be selected by setting the StartNode, EndNode or connection value coordinate or an arbitrary combination of these coordinates. Thereby, not all coordinates need to contain values. In single selection mode, the selection may be assigned ambiguously, that is, there is more than one connection with the same value or more than one connection with the same start node. In this case a connection is randomly selected. If multi selection is enabled and there is more than one function with the same value, all functions are selected.

The SliderValue coordinate can be set by other widgets. Then the corresponding value is set on the slider and the connections and functions are displayed or hidden accordingly.
