hi all - I've got a custom connector the function for which supports an options record as per guidelines. There are some areas I would like to improve though with regards the new data source dialog UX.
Primarily, by default the options record is expanded when creating a new data source. This does not appear to be the case with (at least some, e.g. ODBC) built in connectors but I can't find any documentation on how to govern the expanded state.
The options record parameter on my function typelooks like:
optional options as (type
[
optional CommandTimeout = (
type number meta [
Documentation.FieldCaption = "Command timeout (seconds)",
Documentation.FieldDescription = "Timeout for individual queries. If unspecified platform defaults will apply.",
Documentation.SampleValues = {"120"}
]),
optional MaxCellsPerPage = (
type number meta [
Documentation.FieldCaption = "Maximum cells per response page",
Documentation.FieldDescription = "Maximum number of cells in a single query response page.",
Documentation.SampleValues = {"3000"}
])
] meta [
Documentation.FieldCaption = "Advanced options"
])
Any advice/pointers on how to adjust the UX much appreciated. What I'm aiming for is something that defaults like this:
Afraid not Francesca, I haven't been able to progress this yet.
Thanks for taking the time to respond and the pointers @v-yiruan-msft .
The Essbase connector you cite does show some of the more advanced UX patterns I'd like to acheive but I don't think the source is available for this.
Of the samples only HelloWorld covers some basic documentation. It feels like there is posiibly an undocumented area of the SDK here.
There are a number of UI choices I see on other connectors which don't appear to be acheivable using the function documentation options I am aware of (Documentation. and Formatting. fields).
My connector is functioning as I want and I can surface any settings I need but it seems like I am missing something wrt to how to tweak what UI Power BI will show on adding a data source. To include some additional examples:
