Checking master data loading performance of connections
When data is loaded or refreshed, the associated connections are executed in parallel by default. This is a great feature because it dramatically reduces the total loading time of the dashboard.
To check the loading state of all your connections, it is a good practice to create a custom debug mode that lets you monitor how the connections are performing.
Getting ready
Use a dashboard with multiple connections.
How to do it…
- Add a Spreadsheet Table component to the canvas.
- Set up the spreadsheet as shown in the following screenshot:
- Go to the Data Manager and select the Usage tab. Here you'll find a section called Load Status. For each connection, bind the Insert In field to the corresponding spreadsheet cell.
- Bind the Spreadsheet Table component to the spreadsheet area.
- Publish and Launch the dashboard and see what happens while the connections are executed.
You can use Dynamic Visibility to make the Spreadsheet Table component appear...
