Add Column XML

Used to add a column to the data collected from the external XML sources. This is useful if you want to set a default value for a column if the initial column is null, like a currency field.

Go to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.datacolumn.expression(VS.71).aspx for more information.

Example:

<AddColumn>

<Column>

<ColumnName>ZeroOfGroup1</ColumnName>

<ColumnType>System.Int32</ColumnType>

<Expression>IsNull(1*[Group Value0], 0)</Expression>

</Column>

</AddColumn>

ColumnName (Required) - String

The name of the column you want to add. 

ColumnType (Optional) - String

The type of column you want to add.

Expression (Optional) - String

The expression used to store data within the column.

Enable Post Back

When enabled, content collected and rendered will not be collected again during view changes. If enabled, no new content is collected, which could cause items not to be visible for dates outside the range of the default view.

Enforce Post Input

When enabled, forces any information passed into the page to be done as a post request versus a get request. This disables the ability to add ?Parameter=Value to the page.

HTML Before

HTML that is rendered before the chart.

Example: <center>

HTML After

HTML that is rendered after the chart

Example: </center>

Output XML Web Part Name

Identify the OXMLWPName that must be called if you want this web part to run. If ?/&OXMLWPName=THISPROPERTY  is not found in the URL or post to this page, the web part will not run.

Default: %Auto%

Example: MyWebPart

Page Call: default.aspx?OXMLWPName=MyWebPart

Pass Through XML

Use this property to pass page parameters onto the page specified in the URL To XML property. This supports the Common Use Variables stated at the beginning of this help topic. You must encode the < and > symbol when using the parameters (e.g., < &lt; and > &gt;).

Example:

                <PassThrough>

                                <Pass>

                                                <PTType>get</PTType>

                                                <PTRequest>SearchString</PTRequest>

                                                <PTName>SearchString</PTName>

                                                <PTDefault>[Me]</PTDefault>

                                </Pass>

</PassThrough>

PTDefault (Optional) – String

The default text that will be sent to the page that you are requesting data from, if the parameter is not passed into this page.

PTName (Required) – String

The name of the parameter to be passed onto the page that you are requesting data from.

PTRequest (Required) – String

The name of the parameter being received by the page.

PTType (Required) – String

Controls the type of pass through. Use "post" to store the parameters in the header of your request, or "get" to store them in the URL.

Options:

•    post

•    get

URL to XML

The URL to the data source that the calendar will reference for data to display. This property also supports the Common Use Variables stated at the beginning of this help topic. If you have already created a Chart XML file with data pointers, you can directly reference the XML file through this property.

Default:  empty

Example:             http://domain.com/GridDataSources/Tasks
                                <%SiteURL%>/GridDataSources/Tasks

Use JavaScript for Chart Output

Will render JavaScript which renders the charts versus embedding the flash object.
