Hi,
I have 4 tabs (program, application, user, host) in one MashApp.
Is it possible to get the information into a data feed, on which tab I am?
I was not able to define this as user input.
With the 4 tabs I use 4 different data feeds. The data feeds differ in one detail only (program, application, user, host). The processing is the same. If I had the info, on which tab I am, I could use the same data feed for all 4 tabs.
Thanks
Hello Nico,
an interesting idea. However when I understood you right, I guess your suggestion does not solve my problem.
I have 4 tabs and on every tab I want to use the same data feed. When I add an input box to the data feed with the tab name as default value, I cannot distinguish between several tabs. The default value in the input box would be the same on every tab, isn't it?
Kind regards
Georg
Hello Georg,
sorry, I discribed it a little bit difficult. ^^
On every tab in the composer you have to add an input box with the tab name as the default value.
In the feed editor I think you already have an user input text element?!
In the composer in the "assign data"-dialog you have to filter the user input of your feed on the input box element of the MashApp.
Here is an example of mine:
/system/files/editor/files/importexport.zip
Ciao

Nico, did you know that exporting a MashApp results in a MZP file which includes the data feed as well?
Thank you Stephan! No, I didn't know because I didn't use this feature before. In the documentation point 5.4.3.2 I could not find this information?!
Hi Nico,
thanks. Yes, that's what I need.
I have input text elements in my feeds already. I have to add one more.
Thanks again.
Kind regards
Georg
Nico, indeed, the export docs could be updated to reflect this.

Hello Georg.
You can use the "input box"-element. Write the tab name in the default value of the input box.
Then you have to filter the user input of your feed with the input box.
To hide the element send it in the back, maybe behind a table.
Ciao
