Discussion

The DataSeries Actions... (multiple actions) Action Javascript action is used to manipulate DataSeries defined in a UX Component. This action is useful with client-side DataSeries.

DataSeries Actions... (multiple actions) can be used to perform the following actions:

Refresh the data in one or more Data Series. The action is only meaningful if you specified that your Data Series data should be published to the client-side. An Ajax callback is made and the SQL query or custom Xbasic code that gets the data for the Data Series is executed. The new data is then published to the client-side
Read the data in a Data Series and assigns it to a Javascript variable.

Client-side DataSeries

If client-side DataSeries are enabled, the DataSeries data is stored in a JavaScript variable in the UX Component's JavaScript object. The Refresh DataSeries stores the data in the {dialog.object}._dataSeriesData object. The data in a DataSeries can be referenced from JavaScript as follows:

// if the DataSeries has subseries:
{dialog.object}._dataSeriesData.SeriesName.SubSeriesname

// if the DataSeries has no subseries:
{dialog.object}._dataSeriesData.SeriesName

For example, suppose a DataSeries called Series1 has two subseries, Country and Population. The following JavaScript can be used to get the data for each subseries:

var country = {dialog.object}._dataSeriesData.Series1.Country;
var population = {dialog.object}._dataSeriesData.Series1.Population;
