Databinding

Base Data path

	In the Data binding menu, you can connect a datasource to your content.

Datasource mappers

Available from Wallboard Editor version 1.10.

	It makes easy to manipulate the data itself inside of any datasource before it goes to the widgets.

How to use it?

• Click on the Edit Datasource Mappers button

• Recalculate periodically: When the modal opens you will see a switch on the top. If you switch it on you have to add a value in seconds. This will be the refresh rate of the datasource which will check the source if anything changed.

Please note

If the original datasource's refresh time is greater than the value you wrote into the box, then the custom datasource may not refresh as often as you expect.

Example:

The datasource operates on a cron expression, setting the refresh interval to every 1 hour. If your datasource mapper has a refresh time value of 60 seconds, it won't be able to receive new information from the source until the cron-defined refresh cycle completes.

Options for calculator:
