What is a QuickApp?

5

What is a QuickApp?

A versatile and dynamic set of interactive widgets and layouts

for building custom front-end interfaces on top of 1010data’s

analytics engine

6

What is a QuickApp?



analytics engine

Works in conjunction with 1010data queries to specify how to

accept user input and display the results

<dynamic>

A <dynamic> element encapsulates the Macro Language

code for both the visual and logical aspects of the QuickApp

25

<dynamic>



This dynamic environment manages the state of the widgets

within it using dynamic variables

Updates any widgets that are affected by a change in any of

those variables

27

<widget>

28

<widget>

A <widget> element is used to visually represent a block of

Macro Language code

29

<widget>


Macro Language code

It typically contains a single 1010data query that defines the

data that it displays

<layout>

51

<layout>

A <layout> element acts as a container for widgets or other

layouts and specifies their presentational arrangement

52

<layout>

A <layout> element acts as a container for widgets or other

layouts and specifies their presentational arrangement

There are a number predefined layout types that you can use

to customize the presentation of your QuickApp

<dynamic>

<widget/>

</dynamic>

A widget is the visual representation of a 1010data query

56

A 1010data query consists of a set of operations applied to a base table

57

59

Dynamic Variables

60

Dynamic Variables

The value of a dynamic variable can be shared among widgets

or queries in the QuickApp

61

Dynamic Variables



Using dynamic variables, the selections you make in one

widget can affect the behavior of other widgets in the

QuickApp

62

Dynamic Variables



Using dynamic variables, the selections you make in one

widget can affect the behavior of other widgets in the

QuickApp

Allows for a truly interactive experience

63

Dynamic Variables

64

Dynamic Variables

Defined in the opening <dynamic> tag

65

Dynamic Variables


Can be referenced by any element inside the <dynamic>

66

Dynamic Variables



Can be changed by a widget using a value_ attribute

67

Dynamic Variables



Can be changed by a widget using a value_ attribute

Maintain their values from invocation of query to query

By default, widgets are updated automatically

69

70

Control when widgets are updated

71


Use the holdfor_ attribute to specify a list of dynamic

variables for a particular widget

72




If any of those variables change, the widget is invalidated

73




If any of those variables change, the widget is invalidated

The widget will not update until instructed to do so

75

Blocks

76

Blocks

Blocks allow you to reuse sections of Macro Language code

77

Blocks


Helps you to reduce errors from maintaining multiple copies of

the code

78

80

Blocks

Can be stored in libraries and imported using <import>

81

Blocks


Can be defined within the QuickApp using <defblock>

82
