# Pivot 2.0 API
The Pivot 2 widget type provides a Javascript API that allows targeted manipulation of the look and behavior of the Pivot widget. This API can be used in widget scripts, dashboard scripts and Add-ons.
When a Pivot 2 type widget is accessed via a widget script or event, the widget
object will contain the methods listed below.
Feature Availability
- This API is available in Sisense version
L8.2.1
or later. - This API is available only for Pivot 2.0 type widgets.
- The Pivot 2.0 widget and its API are currently only available on Linux versions of Sisense.
# Methods
# transformPivot
widget.transformPivot(target, handler)
Allows transforming individual cells of a Pivot 2 widget. The method accepts a target
object defining which cells should be affected, and a handler
function thats performes the transformation itself.
This method will only be present on the widget
object when the widget is of the Pivot 2 type. For all other widgets, widget.transformPivot
will be null.
The method may be called several times on the same Pivot 2 widget in order to register multiple transformations on the same pivot table.
Arguments
Name | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
target | TransformationTarget | Yes | An object describing which cells should be transformed |
handler | Handler Function | Yes | A function that transforms each targeted cell |
Returns
N/A
Example
// Give all value cells a background color
widget.transformPivot({ type: ['value'] }, function(metadata, cellData) {
cellData.style.backgroundColor = '#9A94BC';
});
# configurePivot
widget.configurePivot(configuration)
Defines a Pivot 2 widget's configuration, which will be applied to the entire pivot table and not to specific cells.
Arguments
Name | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
configuration | PivotConfiguration | Yes | An object defining configuration for the widget |
Returns
N/A
Example
// Disable drill-down
widget.configurePivot({
disableDrill: true,
});
# Types
# TransformationTarget
Defines which cells should be affected by the transformPivot
method.
The targeting object MUST contain 1 or more of the supported filtering properties listed below.
Note: The terms "rows", "columns" and "values" refer to the widget's metadata panels and not to the physical rows and columns of the resulting pivot!
Combining targets
When multiple targets are combined, the relationship between them will be AND
:
// Apply transformation to any cell that is of "value" type AND where the Country dimension value equals USA or Canada
{
type: ['value'],
rows: [
{
dim: '[Customer.Country]',
members: ['USA', 'Canada']
}
]
}
Properties
Name | Type | Description | Supported Values |
---|---|---|---|
type | string[] | Cell type(s) to target | member , value , subtotal , grandtotal |
rows | DimensionalTarget[] | Rows to target | See DimensionalTarget |
columns | DimensionalTarget[] | Columns to target | See DimensionalTarget |
values | ValueTarget[] | Values to target | See ValueTarget |
Example
// Full possible target model with example content
const target = {
type: ['value', 'member', 'subtotal', 'grandtotal'],
rows: [
{
title: 'Country',
}
],
columns: [
{
index: [1, 2]
}
],
values: [
{
dim: '[Sales.Revenue]',
agg: 'sum'
}
]
}
# DimensionalTarget
The object used in TransformationTarget
's rows
and columns
properties.
The object corresponds to the Rows
or Columns
metadata panels in the Pivot.
Allows specifying which rows or columns should be targeted for transformation. The object corresponds to the Rows or Columns metadata panels in the Pivot.
There are 3 types of row/column targeting objects:
- Index target
- Member target
- Title target
# Target By Index
Target a zero-based index of the metadata collection.
I.e. if the pivot has 3 metadata items in the "Rows" panel, an index 1
will target all cells that are related to the middle metadata item.
Properties
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
index | integer[] | List of row (column) indices to target |
Example
// Target rows (or columns) 1,2,3 of the pivot
{
index: [1, 2, 3]
}
# Target By Member
Target cells corresponding to a specific dimension value (member)
Properties
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
dim | string | Dimension name |
members | *[] | Array of Members to apply to |
Example
// Target rows (or columns) where the "Country" dimension is "USA" or "Canada"
{
dim: '[Customer.Country]',
members: ['USA', 'Canada']
}
# Target By Title
Target cells corresponding to a metadata item with the given title
Properties
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
title | string | Metadata item title - should match the title in the JAQL, before translation |
Example
// Target all cells that belong to a metadata "rows" or "columns" item with the title 'Country'
{
title: 'Country'
}
# ValueTarget
The object used in TransformationTarget
's values
property.
The object corresponds to the Values
metadata panel in the Pivot.
Allows specifying which values should be targeted for transformation. The object corresponds to the Values metadata panel in the Pivot.
There are 3 types of value targeting objects:
- Target By Index
- Target By Aggregation
- Target By Title
# Target By Index
Target a zero-based index of the metadata collection.
I.e. if the pivot has 3 aggregation metadata items in the "Values" panel, an index 1
will target all cells that are related to the middle metadata item.
Properties
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
index | integer[] | List of agg indices to target |
Example
// Target aggregations 1,2,3 of the pivot
{
index: [1, 2, 3]
}
# Target By Aggregation
Target cells corresponding to a specific aggregation
Properties
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
dim | string | Dimension name |
agg | string | Aggregation type |
Example
// Target value cells where the "Revenue" dimension is aggregated using "sum"
{
dim: '[Sales.Revenue]',
agg: 'sum'
}
# Target By Title
Target cells corresponding to a metadata item with the given title
Properties
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
title | string | Metadata item title - should match the title in the JAQL, before translation |
Example
// Target all value cells that belong to a metadata "values" item with the title 'Total Sales'
{
title: 'Total Sales'
}
# Handler Function
function(metadata, cell)
The handler function passed to transformPivot
will be evaluated for each cell that matches the targeting object.
It is provided with metadata about the cell, and by-reference access to the cell itself, as arguments.
The cell object allows access to cell value and contents, as well as modification of them, to customize the cell contents.
The metadata and cell information can be used to further filter the cells, beyond the capabilities of the targeting object, by using if
conditions and stopping execution (with return
) when in a cell that should not be transformed.
This is less efficient than the targeting object, but combining this approach with some preliminary filtering using the other methods will result in less iterations of this function, and more efficient code.

# Examples
# Measure cell tooltip
This example uses the cellEnter
and cellLeave
events to show and hide a tooltip
var $dom = prism.$injector.get('ux-controls.services.$dom');
var tip = null;
widget.on('cellEnter', function (widget, event) {
var measure = event.metadata.measure;
if (tip) { tip.deactivate(); }
if (!measure) { return; }
var scope = prism.$ngscope.$new();
scope.text = event.cell.content + ' - ' + measure.dim;
tip = $dom.tip({
template: '<span>{{text}}</span>',
scope: scope,
}, {
placement: { place: 'l', anchor: 't' },
radial: false
});
tip.activate({x: event.domEvent.clientX, y: event.domEvent.clientY, space: 5});
});
widget.on('cellLeave', function (widget, event) {
if (tip) {
tip.deactivate();
}
});
# Styling a cell
This example uses the transformPivot
method to change the text color for "Rows" dimension cells
widget.transformPivot({
type: ['member']
}, function(metadata, cell) {
cell.style.color = 'red';
});
# Transforming cell content
This example applies a background color to cells with values larger than 0
, and wraps cell content with an HTML <b>
tag with a title attribute in order to show a tooltip.
widget.transformPivot({
type: ['value']
}, handler);
function handler(metadata, cell) {
if(cell.value > 0) {
cell.style.background = 'green';
}
cell.content = '<b title="'cell.content'">' + cell.content + '</b>';
}
# Custom React component
This example replaces Measures cells default text content with a custom React
component and uses the store
object to pass required properties to it.
var React = prism.$injector.get('pivot2.value.React');
function MyComponent(props) {
return React.createElement(
"div",
{ style: { display: 'inline-block' } },
[
React.createElement(
'span',
{},
props.text + ' '
),
React.createElement(
'button',
{
onClick: function() {
alert(props.text)
}
},
'click'
),
]
);
}
widget.transformPivot({
type: ['value'],
values: [],
}, function(metadata, cell) {
cell.store = cell.store || {};
cell.store.text = cell.content;
cell.content = MyComponent;
cell.contentType = 'component';
});
# Postpone 'domready' event
This example replaces default pivot cell text content with a custom React
component showing an image.
As image loading make take some time, the optional domReadyDefer
property is used to notify the widget when the image is done loading.
var React = prism.$injector.get('pivot2.value.React');
function CustomImage(props) {
return React.createElement(
"img",
{ src: props.imageUrl, onLoad: propsdomReadyDefer.resolve }
);
}
widget.transformPivot({}, (metadata, cell) => {
cell.content = CustomImage;
cell.store = cell.store || {};
const domReadyDefer = {};
domReadyDefer.promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
domReadyDefer.resolve = resolve;
domReadyDefer.reject = reject;
});
cell.store.domReadyDefer = domReadyDefer;
cell.store.imageUrl = '/image/url.png';
});
