Parameter Value Passing Into the Web Client

The Web client uses JSON URL query string to pass parameters.

For example:

/params/{"param1":"value1","param2":"value2"}

Again, parameter values must be URL encoded:

http://[host:port]/panopticon/workbook/#/[workbook_name]/[dashboard_name]/params/{"param1":"value1","param2":"value2"}

Where:

q  Parameters are passed in JSON format

q  Every parameter’s name should be enclosed in double quotes (i.e., “”)

q  /params/ sub-path should be placed in prior to JSON sections with parameters

q  Special symbols in the parameter values should be URL-encoded. (Refer to Special Symbols to Pass Parameter Values into the HTML5 Client for more information.)

Here is an example URL with parameters that displays one of the example workbooks:

http://localhost:8080/panopticon/workbook/#/How%20to%20Auto%20Parameterize/Summary/params/%7B%22Region%22:%22Europe%22,%22Industry%22:%22Consumer%20Goods%22%7D

 

This workbook can also be displayed on the web browser using this URL:

http://localhost:8080/panopticon/workbook/#/How to Auto Parameterize/Summary/params/{"Region":"Europe","Industry":"Consumer Goods"}

To filter specific values, the array of values can be passed again in a standard JSON format, enclosing the array elements into square brackets:

{"Region":["Europe","North America"]}

For example:

http://localhost:8080/panopticon/workbook/#/How to Auto Parameterize/Summary/params/{"Region":["Europe","North America"],"Industry":"Consumer Goods"}
