Hello,
I would like to request help to create a “simple” dashboard for the user. The attached model is a simplification, and the context is that the model reads a database. Through two queries, a series of data is imported, which the model interprets to define the state of an installation to be simulated. In the connectivity activity, you can see the queries. In Global Table 2 are the main data, and in Global Table 3 is a simple list of all the different available times. This query takes the data from a specific moment. What I want is for a user, who is not a technician, to be able to select the time to simulate. Since these are moments in milliseconds, the exact value is unknown, and it is not user-friendly for someone to enter the query and paste that time data. I wanted to offer the user a panel where they can read the times and choose one. This selection should be inserted into the query that extracts the information and updates Global Table 2.
The selected date and time (hour) in the combo box should be inserted here:
My idea is to put one (or several) combo boxes on a panel that, when expanded, show this time table (Global Table 3) from which to read this date/time data and select it. Upon selecting the value, the process I described earlier should occur (insert this date into the main query). Since the list of times can be very large, we should consider multiple combo boxes for the user. The user would start by selecting the year (the available years within that list of times); a second combo box would use this selected year to offer the available months in the list for that year. This would continue, applying filters to provide only the available times down to the milliseconds of a specific minute.
Thank you in advance for your support.
