I found (via some posting on DW) a neat tool for charting/graphs (+ other widgets). Seems simple enough… had demo working on my server in minutes. That was using a statix XML file with sample data… Here’s the link:
What if didn’t want to have a static (outside Notes Db) XML file and instead wanted it to reference a Notes document? I created an agent that creates a new Notes document with XML structure. This document is then used with XMLMill servlet that parses into usable XML. A bit different because the servlet is handling the parsing… vs. it being a native XML file. Any ideas or alternatives? I’m looking for a simple way to create graphs/charts based on view data, etc. Thanks team…
Michael,One approach is to create an Agent to generate the xml.
I was able to create an agent that I pass parameters (date range, para1, para2 , etc ) to in order to generate the xml to be used by the xml/SWF.
I have a form where I let my users choose the variables and the date range, then they click a button that generates the URL string that I compute in a Field, In the pass-thru html for the SWF I compute it to that field.
Interesting… sounds just like my requirements. We want the management team to access (via their dashboard) a form that allows them to make selections. Once “generate reports” button is hit, it should present the data+chart. I created the agent that creates the XML based on the xhtml in TinyMCE editor (in Notes form - textarea but contents stored in Notes field). You are using URLQuery string values to pass information to the SWF chart on form? I would like to better understand. Sounds like a “doable” thing. Have a great day. I appreciate the feedback…
