View source for Tables For Data Automation


<div class="imgGlyph24 imgIdea"></div>&nbsp;Instead of using the API to loop through and fetch many series for a given app (like mapping, or HiCharts), use displays ([[Tables|tables]], [[LatestValues|latest values]])

You can create a table specifically for your app which contains all the data needed and then fetch it into your own application.

<div class="imgGlyph24 imgConcept"></div>&nbsp;Some Advantges:
* You can structure the row (series) labels to be easily identifiable
* Label [[Label_Knockouts|knockouts]] are available
* Single Fetch for multiple series
* The displays are server cached for speed which is tripped only when underling data actually changes
* Use glname to access multiple datasets via a single table and multiple group lists
* Use latest values to get current value, prior values and/or (%) changes
<br>
<div class="imgGlyph24 imgRemember"></div>&nbsp;Remember:
* Requires string (or jQuery) parsing of embed html (some classes to assist)
* Limit of 50 points of historical data per series for tables.
