Set selections and fiters

The function flow component supports the filter and selection functionalities of MashZone NextGen dashboards. By setting filters and selections you are can define relations and interactions between several dashboard components.

The function flow component can be used to set a selection or a filter in other dashboard components. Furthermore single nodes or connections of the component can be selected by other components. Additionally, the entire component can be filtered by other components.

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 please note the following hints:

Nodes can be selected by setting the NodeName coordinate or by setting the function measure coordinate. It is possible that the selection can be ambiguously assigned, for example, there is more than one node with the same value. In such a case a node is randomly selected.

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. It is possible that the selection can be ambiguously assigned, for example, there are more than one connection with the same value or more than one connection with the same start node. In such a case a connection is randomly selected.

The SliderValue coordinate can be set from outside and then the corresponding value is set on the slider and the connections and nodes are displayed or hidden accordingly.
