Configure dashboard data broker

Activate the Dashboard data broker preset and configure the data broker to potentially speed the loading of dashboards by prefetching some data.

Before you begin

Role required: ui_builder_admin, admin

About this task

The dashboard includes a Dashboard data broker preset. This data broker prefetches all the static JavaScript assets that are required by the visualizations that are rendered in the dashboard. This prefetch could speed the loading of visualizations that include many such assets.

This data broker prefetches data only on direct page loads. It does not apply on click-through page loads, such as when the dashboard is opened by selecting a URL link from another page. It also does not function when the dashboard is used as an embedded component.

Procedure

1. Open your workspace and either create a page from the Dashboards template or navigate to an existing page from that template.

2. Open the Config tab in the configuration panel of the Dashboard component.

3. Check whether the Dashboard data broker preset is activated.

   The preset is activated by default.

1. In the Data and scripts section of the page, open Data resources > Data controller 1.

   You can rename the data resource if desired.

2. Check whether the properties are correct:

   Property	Value
   experienceId	app > appId
   dashboardSysId	props > sysId
   filterId	props > filter

3. Add default values for the optional page parameters.

   Parameter	Value
   sysId	null
   filter	1

1. In the configuration panel, check whether the following properties are correctly set:

   Property	Value
   Use data broker to fetch data	true
   Data broker response	dashboard > data: ({"success":false})

   You can customize these values, but you probably do not have to.

2. Save the page and open it in runtime.
