Embedded Dashboard Properties and Objects

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

Properties can be passed as parameters to the createComponent method when embedding Symphony dashboards.

Here is a sample embedding "componentInstanceId":"<id>":

embedManager.createComponent('dashboard',
	const componentConfig = {
		"dashboardId": "<dashboard-ID>",
		"componentInstanceId":"<component-instance-ID>",
	}
);

The following table describes available options for these properties and objects.

Property/Object	Default	Description
"dashboardId":"<dashboard-ID>"	none	The dashboard ID. If no dashboard ID is specified, an empty dashboard is embedded. Type: string
"componentInstanceId":"<component-instance-ID>"	none	The instance ID for the dashboard is generated when the dashboard is created. Type: string

Here is a sample embedding "type":

embedManager.createComponent('dashboard',
	const componentConfig = {
		"dashboardId": "<dashboard-ID>",
		"componentInstanceId":"<component-instance-ID>",
		"type":"dashboard",	
	}
);

The following table describes available options for these properties and objects.

Property/Object	Default	Description
"type":"dashboard"		The type of embedded Composer component.

Here is a sample embedding "application":

embedManager.createComponent('dashboard',
	const componentConfig = {
		"dashboardId": "<dashboard-ID>",
		"componentInstanceId":"<component-instance-ID>",
		"type":"dashboard",
		"application":{
			"banner":false,
			"logo":true
		}
	}
);

The following table describes available options for these properties and objects.

Property/Object	Default	Description
"application.banner": true	false	Indicates whether the Symphony top-level navigation banner should be shown with the embedded dashboard. Valid values are true or false. Type: boolean This property is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
"application.logo": true	false	Indicates whether the Symphony logo should be shown with the embedded dashboard. Valid values are true or false. Type: boolean This property is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

Here is a sample embedding "interactivityProfileName":

embedManager.createComponent('dashboard',
	const componentConfig = {
		"dashboardId": "<dashboard-ID>",
		"componentInstanceId":"<component-instance-ID>",
		"type":"dashboard",
		"application":{
			"banner":false,
			"logo":true
		}
		"interactivityProfileName":"interactive",
	}
);

The following table describes available options for these properties and objects.

Property/Object	Default	Description
"interactivityProfileName" :"interactive"	interactive	Determines the way in which your users will be able to work with the embedded dashboard. Valid values are readonly and interactive. If you do not want the user of your application to change anything and only be able to view the dashboard, specify readonly. If you want your users to be able to make changes to the dashboard, specify interactive. When the mode is readonly, the dashboard cannot be changed. This setting is backward-compatible with the interactive option for public shared link embeds. If you are migrating to Symphony's JavaScript embed technology, specify interactive for this setting to ease the migration. Type: string

Here is a sample embedding "interactivityOverrides":

embedManager.createComponent('dashboard',
	const componentConfig = {
		"dashboardId": "<dashboard-ID>",
		"componentInstanceId":"<component-instance-ID>",
		"type":"dashboard",
		"application":{
			"banner":false,
			"logo":true
		}
		"interactivityProfileName":"interactive",
		"interactivityOverrides":"<interactivity-overrides-ID>",
	}
);

The following table describes available options for these properties and objects.

Property/Object	Default	Description
"interactivityOverrides":"<interactivity-overrides-ID>"	none	Specifies specific dashboard and visual interactivity settings for an embedded dashboard. The visual interactivity settings specified in this object will override any interactivity settings specified for the individual visuals. These settings will also override the dashboard interactivity profile linked to the dashboard (the one saved with the dashboard) and the dashboard interactivity profile passed by the interactivityProfileName property. Type: object

Here is a sample embedding "mode":

embedManager.createComponent('dashboard',
	const componentConfig = {
		"dashboardId": "<dashboard-ID>",
		"componentInstanceId":"<component-instance-ID>",
		"type":"dashboard",
		"application":{
			"banner":false,
			"logo":true
		}
		"interactivityProfileName":"interactive",
		"interactivityOverrides":"<interactivity-overrides-ID>",
		"mode":"interactive",
	}
);

The following table describes available options for these properties and objects.

Property/Object	Default	Description
"mode":"interactive"	interactive	When a dashboard interactivity profile is specified (using the interactivityOverrides object or the interactivityProfileName parameter), the mode parameter is ignored. The mode parameter is also deprecated in Symphony and will be removed in a future release. Type: string

Here is a sample embedding "theme":

embedManager.createComponent('dashboard',
	const componentConfig = {
		"dashboardId": "<dashboard-ID>",
		"componentInstanceId":"<component-instance-ID>",
		"type":"dashboard",
		"application":{
			"banner":false,
			"logo":true
		}
		"interactivityProfileName":"interactive",
		"interactivityOverrides":"<interactivity-overrides-ID>",
		"mode":"interactive",
		"theme":"modern",
	}
);

The following table describes available options for these properties and objects.

Property/Object	Default	Description
"theme":"dark"	composer	The theme for the embedded dashboard. Valid values are composer, modern, or dark. The initial default theme, composer, is the same as the modern theme. However, if you add your own themes to the application, more options are available in this list and you may have introduced a different default. Type: string

Here is a sample embedding "editor":

embedManager.createComponent('dashboard',
	const componentConfig = {
		"dashboardId": "<dashboard-ID>",
		"componentInstanceId":"<component-instance-ID>",
		"type":"dashboard",
		"application":{
			"banner":false,
			"logo":true
		}
		"interactivityProfileName":"interactive",
		"interactivityOverrides":"<interactivity-overrides-ID>",
		"mode":"interactive",
		"theme":"modern",
		"editor":{ 
			"placement": "docRight" 
		}
	}
);

The following table describes available options for these properties and objects.

Property/Object	Default	Description
"editor.placement":"docRight"	modals	Indicates where the dashboard editor appears. Valid editor placements are dockRight and modals. Type: string

Here is a sample embedding "header":

	const componentConfig = {
		"dashboardId": "<dashboard-ID>",

		"application":{
			"banner":false,
			"logo":true
		}
		"interactivityProfileName":"interactive",
		"interactivityOverrides":"<interactivity-overrides-ID>",
		"mode":"interactive",
		"theme":"modern",

		}
	}
);

The following table describes available options for these properties and objects.

"header.showTitle": false	true	Indicates whether the dashboard title should be shown for the embedded dashboard. Valid values are true or false. Type: Boolean

Here is a sample embedding "intialFilters":

intialFilters: {
	sourceId: "<source-id>"
