Did something change with SelectionId, the key looks different now

mikihiir — Mon, 18 Feb 2019 18:45:30 GMT

Hi, this.host.createSelectionIdBuilder() service is not working properly anymore for me, did something change with they key, it looks different now. Now there is somekind of identityIndex in it.

key: used to be something like this ->

Key:"{\"data\":[\"{\\\"and\\\":{\\\"l\\\":{\\\"comp\\\":{\\\"k\\\":0,\\\"l\\\":{\\\"col\\\":{\\\"s\\\":{\\\"e\\\":\\\"qtEmergencyRecords\\\"},\\\"r\\\":\\\"Year\\\"}},\\\"r\\\":{\\\"const\\\":{\\\"t\\\":4,\\\"v\\\":2017}}}},\\\"r\\\":{\\\"comp\\\":{\\\"k\\\":0,\\\"l\\\":{\\\"col\\\":{\\\"s\\\":{\\\"e\\\":\\\"qtFacility\\\"},\\\"r\\\":\\\"Facility County\\\"}},\\\"r\\\":{\\\"const\\\":{\\\"t\\\":1,\\\"v\\\":\\\"Alachua\\\"}}}}}}\"]}

Any idea ?

It's expected change that was made as a part of performance optimization for Custom Visuals API 2.x.x.

How are you generating a SelectionId?

I'm asking because the key property is not required to generate a SelectionId.

One possible break is with table and matrix mappings. You can have a look at this code sample to modify your code accordingly if you use table or matrix mappings.

Hi, thanks for replaying

This is how i create SelectionId ->

I am using categorical mapping

It looks good to me.

What API version are you using? API 2.3.0?

If so, I suggest downgrading API version to API 2.2.0 just to make sure it is not related to API.

How to add selectionId to table?

Also, how correct to use ISelectionManager?

I use for create SelectionIds

 private getSelectionIds(dataView: DataView, host: IVisualHost): ISelectionId[] {
            return dataView.table.identity.map((identity, idx) => {
                const categoryColumn: DataViewCategoryColumn = {
                    source: dataView.table.columns[0],
                    values: null,
                    identity: [identity]
                };
        
                return host.createSelectionIdBuilder()
                    .withCategory(categoryColumn, idx)
                    .createSelectionId();
            });
        }

For click:

  Microsoft.Maps.Events.addHandler(node, 'click', function (e: Microsoft.Maps.IMouseEventArgs)  {
                console.log('marker identity is ', sensorData.selectionId);
                debugger;
                this.selectionManager.select(sensorData.selectionId, false).then((ids: ISelectionId[]) =>{
                    console.log(ids);
                }).catch(e => console.error(e));                     
            });

I see that in selectionManager add/remove selectedIds.

But data from the dashboard are not filtered. Nothing happens.

I use API 2.2.0.

what I do wrong?

Hi,

Please check this and this pages.

Also you can look at the Sample Bar Chart code.

There aren't examples with the table. I try to use above the recommendation from this task.

But selectionManager doesn't select data. I try to use

this.selectionManager

let selectionManager = this.selectionManager; 
 Microsoft.Maps.Events.addHandler(node, 'click', function (e: Microsoft.Maps.IMouseEventArgs)  {
                console.log('marker identity is ', sensorData.selectionId);
                debugger;
                selectionManager.select(sensorData.selectionId, false).then((ids: ISelectionId[]) =>{
                    console.log(ids);
                }).catch(e => console.error(e));                     
            });

Nothing helps.

There are two unclear moments:

1. Does your click event happen at all?

2. You mentioned dashboard, but selection will be aplied for report page data only. I meant that you cannot filter one report by filters from other report as I know.

Please clarify these moments.

Well,

I see that selection for table requires some hack.

Hopefully, a new API 2.5 which will be released next week contains .withTable method of the builder that must solve selection issues with Table mapping.
