  • 1.  Error in making a custom widget for reset filter to be applied in the dashboard

    Posted 11 days ago

    Hello All, I am currently working on a requirement to make a reset filter button using custom widget to be applied on a dashboard in the Cognos Version 11.2.4 by packaging custom HTML/JavaScript file and spec.json in a zip file. However when I upload the zip file under Manage-> Customization->Extensions I receive the error as given in the screenshot .

    Please find the code of the custom HTML/JavaScript file and spec.json file . Also find the screenshot of the information obtained on using browser developer tools (right-click on the filter and select "Inspect" or press F12) to examine the HTML structure and identify the classes or IDs used for the filter applied on the dashboard

    Hi, you're spec.json does not meet the CA Extension schema requirements. See: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/11.2.0?topic=views-specjson-description

    I believe what you are trying to add is a "collectionItem" to an existing "collection" but I'm not sure.

    Your "collectionItem" plugin needs to be part of a feature and then added to the applicable "existing" widget collection via the collectionId key (:
    eg:
    ...
        "features": [{
            "id": "com.ibm.bi.notebook.widgets",
            "collectionItems": [
                {
                    "containerId": "com.ibm.bi.dashboard.widgets",
                    "id": "notebook",
                    "label": "notebook",
                    "builtin": true,
                    "ownTitle": false,
                    "createContentNode": false,i
                    "widget": "notebook/DashboardWidget",
                    "layoutConsumeView": "dashboard/layout/views/Widget"
                }
            ]
        }
    ...

    If you have access to the CA install, please see the extension samples provided under <CAInstall>/samples/extensions

    Good luck!

    Hi Priya,

    Can you please clarify what filters you want to reset?

    Visual filters (applied to a specific Visual) or All filters in the Filter top area?

    Hey Priya! I'm working on a similar reset filter functionality for Cognos dashboards. Would be happy to take a look at your code (HTML/JS and spec.json) and see if I can spot anything causing the upload error.
