Template Displays

 Rather than making a set of Displays that are identical in except for the data they contain, you can implement a template mechanism to pop different data sets into the display dynamically (typically from a drop down list of data choices).

 Template displays are when a dataZoa Display is designed somewhat generically (typically with regards to row labels) and for which the datasets used is swapped at display time. This is accomplished by providing a target dataset to use in the form of a GroupList name within the same account and via the glname argument of the embedded display's src attribute.

Templates work with any display type, but in this discussion we will just refer to a dataZoa Table Display.
To begin, make a table specifically for your app which contains all the data needed and then use AJAX to fetch it.

 Some Advantges:

• You can mark the row (series) labels to easily identify their data
• Label knockouts are available
• Just one fetch for multiple series
• The displays are server-cached for speed
• A GroupList parameter (glname=... on a table gives access to multiple datasets
• A LatestValues display gives you current values, prior values and/or (%) changes

 Remember:

• Use jQuery (or similar library) to parse the structured classes in the display and get the data values
• There is a limit of 50 points of historical data per series for tables.
