Editing Reports and Dashboards
Information |
Since dashboards and reports use the same unified template format - MRT, methods for loading the template and working with data, the word “report” will be used in the documentation text.
|
To edit a report template, you should add the StiNetCoreDesigner component to a page, set the minimum required settings for it, and define necessary actions in the page event handler.
Index.cshtml |
... @Html.StiNetCoreDesigner(new StiNetCoreDesignerOptions() { Actions = { GetReport = "GetReport", DesignerEvent = "DesignerEvent" } }) ... |
Index.cshtml.cs |
... public IActionResult OnPostGetReport() { // Create the report object StiReport report = new StiReport();
// Load report or dashboard report.Load(StiNetCoreHelper.MapPath(this, "Reports/SimpleList.mrt")); //report.Load(StiNetCoreHelper.MapPath(this, "Reports/Dashboard.mrt"));
return StiNetCoreDesigner.GetReportResult(this, report); }
public IActionResult OnGetDesignerEvent() { return StiNetCoreDesigner.DesignerEventResult(this); }
public IActionResult OnPostDesignerEvent() { return StiNetCoreDesigner.DesignerEventResult(this); } ... |
The GetReport action is used to load an editable report template. It is called automatically after the report designer is loaded. The DesignerEvent action is designed to process various additional designer actions, such as working with data and components, previewing reports and others.
Information |
The DesignerEvent action is mandatory. Without it, the correct work of the designer is impossible. The action is called for two types of requests: OnGet – a component requests necessary resources for work, such as CSS styles, JS scripts, and images; OnPost – all other actions of the designer.
