Visual effects

Supported tabs

Read
- enables in-iFrame Squirro queries
- displays query string on dashboard selection impacting iFrame content
Sources
- displays data sources of configured Squirro project
- HINT: "Add Sources" leads to the mobile dashboard view
Settings
- displays Squirro settings in mobile browser manner
  (do we really need it that way)?
Essentials
- connects to a broken LinkedIn page (on Squirro-box)

Best practice is to enable the read tab if any tab is wanted!

The logical configuration of the iFrame covers "Item Filtering" and "Squirro Settings".

Most configurations can be set hard-coded or via Qlik variables from the load script.

Squirro Settings tab

Setting	example	explanation
Project ID	variable: vSquirroProjectID value: 7sJQVzBdSECah5_ONGtvllx	specifying the Squirro Project ID
Server URL	varuable: vSquirroClusterID value: http://my-squirrobox.local	specifying Squirro Server ID (cloud or Squirro-in-a-box) it is important to specify the "http://" preceding the IP or name
Login Token	variable: vSquirroToken value: 22ce6730d601a705........430718ec4e65d33971f	specifying Squirro API access token

Item Filtering

Setting	example	explanation
Created After	variable: $(vCreatedAfter) value: 2010	slice Squirro results to after 31.12.2010
Created Before	value: $(vCreatedBefore) value: 2014	slice Squirro results to before 01.01.2014
Date Format	YYYY	specifies the date format used expected by "created after" and "created before" possible formats see here: http://momentjs.com/docs/#/parsing/string-format/
Query	variable: $(vQuery) value: $external_id:a11427 OR $external_id:a25659	any Squirro query can be put in here typically the query string is put together dynamically the logic of the project at hand determines how the string is put together this is typically defined in the Qlik load script $-Expansion must be used if a dynamic refresh of the Squirro items is expected when the user changes the Qlik selection Internet Explorer forbids that the URL GET string can be longer than 2048 including the characters for the URL make sure the string does not exceed this length
Location	n/a	when is that used?
Fingerprint	n/a	do we actually use that? I've seen it being done dynamically only?
Noise Level	n/a	do we actually use that? I've seen it being done dynamically only?
