Hi,

Using the Dynamic Text / Business Text Panel, I am trying to create a custom HTML table with a checkbox and textbox but these does not seem to render in the visualisation (see photo below).

Is it a possibility in this plugin?

Would this require JavaScript Handlebars, Helpers, or event handlers?

Below is the HTML code:

<div class="table-container">
  <table>
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th>Name</th>
        <th>Age</th>
        <th>City</th>
        <th>Select</th>
        <th>Text</th>
      </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td class="red">John Doe</td>
        <td class="blue">28</td>
        <td class="green">New York</td>
        <td><input type="checkbox" id="checkbox-1" name="checkbox-1"></td>
        <td><input type="text" id="input-1" name="input-1"></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td class="blue">Jane Smith</td>
        <td class="green">34</td>
        <td class="red">Los Angeles</td>
        <td><input type="checkbox" id="checkbox-2" name="checkbox-2"></td>
        <td><input type="text" id="input-1" name="input-2"></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td class="green">Alice Johnson</td>
        <td class="red">23</td>
        <td class="blue">Chicago</td>
        <td><input type="checkbox" id="checkbox-3" name="checkbox-3"></td>
        <td><input type="text" id="input-1" name="input-3"></td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</div>

I am hoping for something similar with the visual interaction using the Annotation feature.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks

Hi @mikhailvolkov, how are you?
related to the topic of this post, is there a way to set a variable value (for example, a boolean one), with a checkbox of a table?
For example, suppose that I want to set the value of VTcheck Grafana’s Dashboard variable to true if the checkbox of this table is marked (by default is going to be false):

Is that possible with this plugin?

Thanks in advance for your help.

@alejandroguida It’s possible using the locationService: JavaScript Code | Volkov Labs

Thanks @mikhailvolkov , do you have a small example on how to do that?

Because with the provided link, I think I understand how to set the VTcheck Grafana’s variable using locationService, but I don’t understand how to “read” the state of the Checkbox on the Dashboard’s table, if it is checked or no.

Thanks again for you help.

what would the button do?

That will be status change button like acknowledged, resolved to update the status

@dhaarini As alternative to Business Text (Dynamic Text) panel you can check the Business Table panel, which we introduced recently. The latest version 1.3.0 allows to edit column data.

You can update status using listbox and it has also permissions management. We will publish blog post with details later this week.

Thanks, let me explore and check the possibilities
