HTML Card Invisible

leopdurr

I have an HTML Card where I am performing the below calculation on the card.
If I add Static values (example: pct=80%) While working in the VP I can see the card design, etc.

If I then change the my value to dynamic content (example the below) My HTML Card disappear while in design mode. If I Publish or Run in Test mode it displayed properly without any issue. Only while in the Visual Perspective I am getting this behavior.

Anyone come across this and how do you resolve it. I notice this is happening with certain mathematical calculation functions. ROUND, SUM, COUNT

 <div> pct= <<IF ROUND(COUNT DLPAlert WHERE (DLPAlert.Incident IS DEFINED AND DLPAlert.EscalatedDate >= DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE, -30)) * 100 / COUNT DLPAlert WHERE (DLPAlert.DateGenerated >= DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE, -30)), 0) = ROUND(COUNT DLPAlert WHERE (DLPAlert.Incident IS DEFINED AND DLPAlert.EscalatedDate >= DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE, -60) AND DLPAlert.EscalatedDate < DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE, -30)) * 100 / COUNT DLPAlert WHERE (DLPAlert.DateGenerated >= DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE, -60) AND DLPAlert.DateGenerated < DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE, -30)), 0) 
                THEN SHOW SECTION_START>>
                <<IF COUNT DLPAlert WHERE (DLPAlert.DateGenerated >=  DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE,-30)) > 0 THEN SHOW SECTION_START>>
                <<ROUND(COUNT DLPAlert WHERE (DLPAlert.Incident IS DEFINED AND (DLPAlert.EscalatedDate) >= DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE,-30)) * 100 / COUNT DLPAlert WHERE (DLPAlert.DateGenerated >=  DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE,-30)), 0)>>% no change in last 30 days
                <<SECTION_END>>
                <<IF COUNT DLPAlert WHERE (DLPAlert.DateGenerated >=  DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE,-30)) = 0 THEN SHOW SECTION_START>> 
                0% in last 30 days
</div>

Anyone seen this issue before?

I have the same behavior in my apps, its just something I live with at this point.

Usually AwareIM assigns random values to BO’s when they are previewed in the Config Tool, this would be for Queries, Forms and VP’s. Based off of this behavior I think the conditions you set in the HTML for show section start will basically always be false because of the random values and subsequently the HTML block it is in will be “hidden”.

This is why it shows when you put the Business Space under test or publish as it is now pulling real data and the calculation can be done correctly.

I don’t think there would be a fix for this as coding something that can use random values to satisfy any conditional visibility in HTML preview would be extremely difficult.

The only thing you can do is put it under test and see if what you put in the “SHOW SECTION_START” works and do trial and error from there.

I think this is caused by the fact that the preview of the Visual Perspective in the configurator can only display HTML, it does not ‘run’ the Business Space nor perform the calculations. Therefore, if you have a static value the embedded browser can display it as HTML, but if you have calculations it cannot display your content because those calculations cannot be evaluated while you are in the configurator - you are editing the Business Space which by definition means that it cannot simultaneously run to calculate the expressions.

There is no alternative but to put it in Test mode (I use the shortcut Alt+Q a lot) to see the resulting design.

Thanks both. If I come up with any workaround I will update this thread.
