Study Notes
Blockly Logic in Flow.BI
- Blockly provides a visual interface for creating scripts without traditional coding.
- It's used for automating tasks, customizing reports, and implementing complex business logic.
- Logical operations include tests, conditions, and evaluations.
- Blockly is a powerful tool for building dynamic reports that automate tasks, enhance user experience, and provide insights.
Setting up Logic in Blockly
- Create a New Script: Right-click a component/data band, select "Edit Script," then choose "Blockly."
- Drag and Drop Blocks: Use the palette to add blocks representing actions, conditions, and data operations. Drag and drop blocks onto the workspace.
- Connect Blocks: Create a logical flow by linking block outputs to inputs. Connect blocks to create a flow of logic.
- Configure Block Properties: Adjust properties within blocks (variables, arguments, conditions). Some blocks may have properties you can configure.
Example: Calculating a Discount
- Create a Variable: Store the total order amount using a "Variable" block.
- Check a Condition: Use a "Conditional" block to check if the total exceeds a threshold.
- Calculate Discount: Employ a "Math" block to calculate the discount based on the condition.
- Update Total: Use a "Set Variable" block to update the total amount with the discounted value.
Tips for Effective Blockly Usage
- Break Down Complex Logic: Divide tasks into smaller, manageable steps.
- Test Scripts: Use debugging tools to identify and fix errors.
- Leverage Built-in Functions: Use provided functions for tasks like string manipulation, date calculations, and formatting.
- Use Comments: Explain the logic for better readability.
- Experiment: Try different approaches and explore various blocks and functions.
