The Canvas Dynatables feature empowers users to build real-time analytics swiftly and efficiently. With its intuitive interface and dynamic data capabilities, users can generate insightful reports and visualizations on the fly, streamlining the decision-making process and enhancing data-driven outcomes.
Adding Dynatables to the Canvas
When you drag and drop a Dynatable onto your Canvas, a dialog box appears, prompting you to select a Dynatable from your saved Dynatables or build a new one. After choosing the desired Dynatable, a preview is displayed. You can then adjust the Dynatable as needed before clicking Apply to confirm your changes.
Format tab
Once your Dynatable is applied to your Canvas, a dialog with two tabs opens on the right side of the screen. In the Format tab, you can configure properties such as padding, size, frame radius, border, and background color. The lower section of the Format tab enables you to delete the Dynatable. It is also possible to delete the Dynatable by right-clicking on it and selecting Delete.
Data tab
You can use the "Edit Dynatable" option in the Data tab to modify, rearrange, and customize your Dynatable to suit your needs.
Editing Dynatables
Once you have positioned your Dynatable onto your Canvas, you can still edit it in many ways. You can copy/cut and paste your Dynatable onto different frames and stacks, move it around by dragging and dropping it, and undo/redo your formatting and placement of your Dynatable.
You can also interact with the Dynatable using the native Combobox feature. By linking a variable to the Combobox, any updates made to the Combobox will automatically reflect in the Dynatable, ensuring real-time synchronization.
Stored Subsets as a source
You can also use a stored subset as a source for a Dynatable dimension in Canvas, allowing you to easily apply a simple or complex combination of elements. This feature enables you to utilize intricate combinations based on subset filters, such as Data, Attribute, and Picklist, giving you quick access to predefined element groups with just a few clicks and eliminating the need to rebuild extensive filters from scratch.
This process can also be executed at a more granular level, allowing you to select specific elements for the dimension that sources its elements from a stored subset. By narrowing down your selection, you can tailor the data to display only the most relevant or critical elements for your analysis.
Dynatables size limits (Min/Max)
The Dynatables in Canvas have defined minimum and maximum dimensions, and entering values outside these limits will not resize the Dynatable. The table below provides detailed information on these height and width limits.
| Component | Minimum width | Maximum width | Minimum height | Maximum height |
| Dynatable | 8 px | 1600 px | 8 px | 1200 px |
