Hello,

Suppose I have four panels on a dashboard. Panel A calculates X (as well as some other calculations). Panel B calculates Y (as well as some other calculations). Panel C needs to show X and Y. And the fourth is a filter panel with some drop downs and a submit button (we'll call this panel D). The other three panels update whenever this submit button is clicked and they all respect whatever filters are selected.

Now I really hate using redundant code, so ideally for me, panel C will only update when both A and B run and save the results to some place (global variable or maybe a hold file). And I don't want to create a bunch of extra code to achieve this either. The solution I'm looking for should simplify the coding.

I know this can be done with INCLUDE statements, but this can become spaghetti-ish too but more importantly we end up running the same code/query multiple times (though modular code is great, I get it). I'm trying to write code that won't be hard to maintain, neat and efficient.

Any options out there?

Thank you!

You can store your results in FOCCACHE. FOCCACHE is a session storage and will be active from login to logout.

I would't drive the redundant code thing too far and try to keep thing transparant and easy.

Thanks for the quick reply... But...

...when the Submit button is hit, how can I control that panel C only uses the values in FOCCACHE after panels A and B were run (and updated the values in FOCCACHE)?

I am not sure that is possible you may want to pose that question to techsupport to see if there is a way.


Thank you for using Focal Point!
