Audience: Platform Admins

Platform Admins can manage Table Configs for different tables in the Platform. (Currently only for Device Data) The table config is shared between all devices of a device type.

Navigate to:

  • Configuration -> Device Types -> Select a Device Type -> Data Table Config
  • Data -> Gear Icon above table
  • Devices -> Select a Device -> Device Data -> Gear Icon above table


Column Fields:

  • Heading: Title of the column
  • Width: Optional width of the column (use CSS)
  • Sort Property: Optional: Path to property to allow sorting
  • CSV Export:
  • Export CSV: Check to enable CSV export for the column
  • CSV Format: Format for the CSV export (supports Format Tamplates)
  • Cell:
  • Format: Format of the value inside the table (supports Format Tamplates)
  • Is Html: HTML is not escaped. This is unsafe. Do not use!
  • Href: Add a link to another page to the value (supports Format Tamplates)

Table of Contents

Sort/Filter Property

The property is entered as Path inside the JSON column Object:

To enable sorting/filtering on device name use device.name as property. In the devices Properties are field present that have a point inside the fieldname. These points needs to be protected by quotes. So for the device.vbat property use: properties.device"."vbat.value

To enable a Filter

  • tick the "Filer Column" box.
  • Enter the path of the property based on which the filter is applied
  • choose a filter Type.

The Text filter will display a Text Box enable to search every entry containing the word entered. (Case insensitive) Alternativly you can enter a leading star (*word) to only search entry that end with "word" or a trailing star (word*) to only search for entries that start with "word".

In the boolean Filter you get a drop down Menu where you can choose if no filter is applied or you want to filter on "true" or "false".


Formats are handlebar templates. See: "Format Template" below.

Format Templates

Formatting values in HTML or CSS output is done via Handlebar Templates. Please also have a look into the Handlebar Documentation.


You can not use HTML directly for security reasons. There is a checkbox Is HTML to skip the escaping. We do not recommend using it and it might get removed in future versions.


The underling data structure can be seen when expanding the table:


Parser output is saved in the data field. But you can also render all other fields. To replace part of the template with variable data you need to put the variable in double curly brackets: e.g. {{variable}}


To display the temperature field of the parser output you can simply write {{data.temperature}}.


For more advanced formatting you will need Handlebar Helpers.


Accessing Arrays

Array elements can be reached with .[<idx>]

The JavaScript syntax with [idx] (e.g. data[1]) does not work in handlebars! A dot in front of the [x] is needed. 


Example

{{data.[1]}}


{
  "data": [
    "a", "b", "c"
  ]
}


b

Handlebar Template Helpers

Handlebar Helpers can be used to apply advanced formatting to data outputs. Starting from conditionals to simple calculations.

All built-in Handlebar Helpers can be used.

Helpers are used in the following format:
{{helper_name <required_parameters> [optional_parameters]}}


Cascading helpers

To cascade helpers use round braces

{{toFixed (div data.vsysCurrent_mV 1000) 1}}

date

Format a given time and date.

{{date <date> [format]}}

  • date must be a valid input for moment(). When using timestamps it must be in milliseconds.
  • format  Optional parameter, not supported for CSV export. (warning) Deprecated: Please use the named parameter (see below).
  • Optional Named parameters:

Example

{{date data.time}}

//Example with optional params
{{date data.time format='dddd, MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a' tz='Europe/Berlin'}}


{
  "data": {
    "time": 1585823609000
  }
}


02.04.2020 10:33:29

duration

Format given duration.

{{duration <duration> [format]}}

Example

{{duration duration}}


{
  "data": {
    "duration": 10000
  }
}


00:00:10

durationHumanize

Format a given duration in a human readable format.

{{durationHumanize <duration>}}

  • duration must be a valid input for moment.duration(). When using timestamps it must be in milliseconds.

Example

{{durationHumanize data.duration}}


{
  "data": {
    "duration": 10000
  }
}


10 seconds

durationAs

Get a given duration in a certain unit of time.

{{durationAs <duration> [unit_of_time]}}

Example

{{durationAs data.duration "milliseconds"}}


{
  "data": {
    "duration": 10000
  }
}


10000


fromNow

Display the time between now and a given time. See also: moment().fromNow().

{{fromNow <date>}}

  • date must be a valid input for moment(). When using timestamps it must be in milliseconds.

Example

{{fromNow data.time}}


{
  "data": {
    "time": 1585823609000
  }
}


3 days ago


typeof

Display the js type of a value. Useful for debugging.

{{typeof <value>}}

  • date must be a valid input for moment(). When using timestamps it must be in milliseconds.

Example

{{typeof data.value}}


{
  "data": {
    "value": 1337
  }
}


number


toFixed (number of decimals)

Display a number with given amount of decimal places. For more advanced formatting see numberFormat.

{{toFixed <value> [decimals]}}

  • decimals number of decimal places (Default: 2)

Example

{{toFixed data.value 3}}



{
  "data": {
    "value": 1.2345
  }
}


1.234


numberFormat

Format a number.

{{numberFormat <value> [options]}}

options:

  • thousandsSep separator between 3 digits (Default: locale dependent - ',' for germans)
  • decimalSep decimal separator (Default: locale dependent - '.' for germans)
  • decimals number of decimal places (Default: 2)

Example

{{numberFormat data.value thousandsSep="." decimalSep=","}}


{
  "data": {
    "value": 1024.2345
  }
}


1.024,23


CSV (requires platform > v1.8.0)

Format an array as CSV string.

{{csv <value> [options]}}

options:

  • separator separator between entries (Default: ';')
  • decimalSep decimal separator (Default: locale dependent - '.' for germans))

{{csv data.value separator=";" decimalSep=","}}


{
  "data": {
    "value": [1024.2345, 5]
  }
}


1024,23;5


replace

Replaces a part of a string by an alternativ. Use "" as replaceWith to delete searched part. Will return the input when applied on values that are not of type string.

{{replace "String to search in" "searchFor" "replaceWith"}}

Example

//use
{{replace "Hallo Lobaro welcome to the Internet" "Lobaro" "oraboL"}}
output: "Hallo oraboL welcome to the Internet" 

//for a data field in json object
{{replace data.value  "wmbusapp-" ""}}

//object to apply:
{
  "data": {
    "value": "wmbusapp-v101"
  }
}

//output
"v101"


Math

Mathematical operations.

  • {{ceil <value>}} round up to integer
  • {{floor <value>}} round down to integer
  • {{div <nom> <denom>}} returns nom / denom
  • {{mul <a> <b>}} returns a * b (requires Platform > v1.8.0)
  • {{max <list> [property_path]}} returns the biggest element from the list. Compares the given property_path.

Boolean operations

Boolean operations, useful for #if conditions.

  • {{not <value>}} negate the value
  • {{eq <v1> <v2>}} v1 == v2
  • {{lt <v1> <v2>}} v1 < v2
