Saving Charts

Charts created in AG Grid can be saved into Adaptable State.

The saveChartBehaviour property in Charting Options has 3 potential values:

  • auto: all created charts are saved automatically in Adaptable State
  • manual: a popup is shown prompting the user to save the chart and provide a name
  • none: charts are not saved into AdapTable State (the default value)

Cross Filter Charts

Cross Filtering Charts is semi-supported in AdapTable.

Changing a Filter in AdapTable will update the Chart; however changing the chart will not update the Filter.

Note

This is a known issue and will be addressed in a future release

Fork
Try It Out
  • Filter the Language and License columns and see the Charts update
  • Note: Changing the Chart will not filter the Grid (at present)

UI Entitlements

The UI Entitlements behaviour for Charts is as expected for Full and Hidden Access Levels.

The ReadOnly Entitlement behaviour is that Charts will display, and users can create AG Grid charts, but will not be permitted to save them.
