Reading the dashboard

Worksheets, summary data, filters, parameters — everything the dashboard knows, in your JavaScript.

3 stops

  1. Run

    The dashboard, as an object model

    Enumerate everything the dashboard contains from JavaScript — worksheets, zones, size — and never hard-code a sheet name you could have discovered.

  2. Run

    Read the data behind any viz

    Pull the summary data out of a worksheet — every row, at any size — into plain JavaScript objects you can chart, export, or send anywhere.

  3. Run

    Read the filters and parameters

    Report the exact state the viewer has put the dashboard in — every filter on every worksheet, every parameter value.

  4. Summit

    Your page can see everything the dashboard sees.
