04. PivotTable

The PivotTable BlackBox is used to implement a pivot table for reporting purposes, with drag’n’drop functionality.

https://pivottable.js.org/examples/

Parameters

The parameters are as follows:

PivotTable ( json { ; defaultRow ; defaultColumn ; defaultRenderer } )

Parameter	Description
json	A field containing your JSON text that represents your data object Eg, `"GLOBALS::example_json_pivot"`
defaultRow	A key from your JSON to use as the initial PivotTable row (optional) Eg, `"Gender"`
defaultColumn	A key from your JSON to use as the initial PivotTable column (optional) “g, `"Party"`
defaultRenderer	The default rendering form for your pivot table (optional) Eg, `"Horizontal Bar Chart"`

Example

PivotTable (

"GLOBALS::example_json_pivot" ;

"Gender" ;

"Party" ;

"Horizontal Bar Chart"

)

In order to generate your JSON string, the easiest way is to use the in-built FM JSON functions.

Relationship

This BlackBox is designed for a single record, rather than a found set. So your table occurrence should have a relationship from the current context that matches to only one record.

Reactor knows nothing about your current found set.

If your current context is the record containing the JSON you wish to use as your dataset, create a self-relationship, and use that as the BlackBox parameter(s):

You will need to recompile the BlackBox to apply any changes you make.
