Tables For Data Automation

Instead of using the API to loop through and fetch many series for a given app (like mapping, or HiCharts), use displays (tables, 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.

Some Advantges:

• You can structure the row (series) labels to be easily identifiable
• Label 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

Remember:

• Requires string (or jQuery) parsing of embed html (some classes to assist)
• Limit of 50 points of historical data per series for tables.
