    Hi there,

    What is the best way to get all object names included in the report? I need it in order to get object handlers using getObjectHandle method.

    Thank you in advance.

    Can't add the "Remove all role assignments" or a similar option (e.g. "Select/remove data role assignments" ) to the three-dotted menu of a report object

    Hi there,

    We use SAS VA SDK 1.10.0 to embed a VA report created on SAS Viya 2022.1.2.

    We need to enable the end-user of the web app to select/remove data role assignments from different report objects: e.g. list table, crosstab, line chart, waterfall chart.

    In SAS Visual Analytics on SAS Viya, a guest user can use the "Remove all role assignments" from the three-dotted menu of the respective objects: image After removing all role assignments, the end user can add to the report object the data items they wish: image For example, to a list table: image Or to a line chart: image

    However, we don't see this option available in the web app while using SAS Viya SDK.

    Please, enable the "Remove all role assignmnets" option (or even better, a similar option, e.g. "Select/remove data role assignmnts) from the three-dotted menu of the respective objects in SAS Viya SDK.

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Uncaught (in promise) TypeError that appears in Firefox only

    There is an Uncaught (in promise) TypeError thrown error that appears in Firefox only. It happens when a selection is made in DDC, but only in one DDC (there are other similar components that work totally fine). The page also reloads (which probably happens because of 304 status for the first request). OS: macOS Firefox: 102.4.0 SAS VA SDK: 1.13.0

    An out of memory error in Firefox

    Hi there,

    add documentation for restrictViewportGestures

    This feature was added to improve the user experience while scrolling a page that contains report objects. It is easy to get stuck in a graph while scrolling. As you are scrolling the page the mouse enters a graph and starts zooming the graph instead of scrolling the page. With restrictViewportGestures turned on, the zooming does not happen by default. The user is required to press a modifier key to engage the zoom. On mac this is the cmd key, while on windows it will be the ctrl key.

    fix content sdk viya setup doc

    When fixing #33 I saw that the content SDK viya setup doc links were pointing to the internal dev versions of the doc, not the production doc server. Also, its viya setup doc had become out of sync with recent updates made to the VA SDK doc. This fixes the links and updates the doc wording to be in sync with the VA SDK doc.

    add documentation for setFormatterLocale

    This adds documentation for setFormatterLocale, which sets the locale used by va-sdk for numeric values and dates to be something different than the value set by setLocale and the broswer setting.

    Sending message with empty selection

    Hi there,

    Issue

    I have an issue with sending an empty selection in SAS VA SDK 1.13.0.

    Use case (simplified)

    I have a DDC that is used to select gender Man and Woman and a DDC that is used to display statistical data as a table. So changing gender selection and sending the selection using window.parent.postMessage works perfectly fine for both Man and Woman selected, only one gender selected, but it doesn't work if no gender is selected. If a message is posted with an empty selection, SAS responds with the previous selection and it makes sense because gender is required to get the data. But in my particular use case, if no gender is selected, the table should display summarized data for both genders.

    Is there a way to get summarized data if an empty selection is sent? Thank you in advance
