    Study Notes

    Blockly Objects in Flow.BI

    • Blockly objects are visual programming blocks that allow users to build scripts without traditional coding, simplifying complex logic and automating tasks within reports. They provide access to report and dashboard components and their properties.

    Key Features

    • Visual Programming: Drag-and-drop blocks simplify script creation, modification, and understanding.
    • Event-Driven Programming: Scripts are triggered by events like button clicks, data band rendering, report loading, or other specified triggers.
    • Component Manipulation: Adjust component properties and actions based on conditions or user input.
    • Data Manipulation: Process data from data sources, dynamically updating report content.
    • Error Handling: Built-in mechanisms facilitate identification and resolution of script issues.

    Common Use Cases

    • Customizing Report Behavior: Create interactive reports with dynamic content and user input.
    • Automating Report Generation: Automate tasks like data filtering, sorting, and formatting.
    • Implementing Complex Business Logic: Model intricate calculations and decision-making processes.
    • Connecting External Systems: Fetch and process data from external sources using integrations.

    Example: Dynamic Discount Calculation

    • Goal: Create a report dynamically calculating a discount based on order amounts.

    • Procedure:

      • Associate a script with an event (e.g., Data Band Rendering).
      • Use blocks to create logic:
        • Check total amount against a threshold (using a conditional block).
        • Calculate discount amount using mathematical blocks.
        • Update a text component with the calculated discount (using a block for text component updates).

    • This simplifies report creation, eliminating the need for extensive programming knowledge. This visual approach enables easier understanding, debugging, and maintenance of scripts.
