Environment Information: - ARS 7.5 patch 3 - Midtier 7.5 patch 3 I'm trying to use flashboards to render some data. I have 3 variables (fixed, floating write, floating read) that I am trying to plot using a stacked area chart over a time series (historical data). The data looks fine in a stacked bar chart, but the rendering of the data in a stacked area is inaccurate when the value is zero for one of the variables.
Take this stacked bar chart. It shows the following data for the 2 five minute collection times: - 4 for Fixed - 1 for Floating - 0 Floating Read [image: image.png] When I change the chart type to stacked area, I get different results (bear in mind it is using the same data): - 4 for Fixed - 1 for Floating - highlight shows 4 Floating Read, but it should be 0; plot shows 0 floating read tokens [image: image.png] Has anyone else seen the same issue with flashboards? Some other general observations: - In the FB variables, the grouping is limited to only 2 fields (why?) - When grouping by 2 fields, the legend and data rendering in the chart do not break down the sample data according to the second group field; it only uses the first grouping field (i lose the granularity of the data in the chart, which makes it useless). I instead have to create seperate variables that include the qualification (and no grouping) and add each of those variables to the flashboard - If I group by 1 field and only have 1 variable in the flashboard, the legend will break down the data properly. If I have multiple variables, each with 1 field used as a grouping, the chart does not honor the grouping and lumps all the data for that variable into 1 section of the stacked bar chart. - There are some missing features that I would consider 'elementary' or 'basic' features: - group by any number of fields - Min/Max capabilities over a time range or for the chart (series line) - Chart types: scatter plot, others, ... - statistics or data points in chart; ability to control the visibility of - ability to resize chart - ability to change time range (define period) - refresh interval - many others - Uses Flash; Who decided to use flash for every graphical type of output from Remedy? Why would anyone do this? Proprietary browser plugins = platform dependencies at the discretion of the plugin vendor; Proprietary browser plugins = future incompatibility with browsers for the portions of your product that rely on the plugins. Capability-wise, this seems to be the same flashboards product that was available 10 years ago with Flashboards 2.0 when it still had the seperate FB Admin utility, albeit wrapped in a better looking (though, proprietary) wrapping.
