Load Graphs Only When Viewing Tab/Limiting Graph Range
0
Hi there, I have overview tabs containing graphs. The first shows the output of all the machines/stations of a facility, and the other the overall production of a facility. Due to the requirement to constrain the data to a dynamic time period (current date-time – {x} days/hours), as well as to show the full axis width, I had to resort to retrieving the data using a microflow, else the axis automatically scales to the retrieved data’s date range. The data itself does not really have a large impact on the application’s resources, however, the cumulative impact on the resources of all the machine’s graphs is a challenge. I believe that this can be overcome by either Loading the graph data only when viewing the selected tab Constraining the axis of the charts and looking switch over to a database retrieve of the data I have raised the latter on Plotly’s forums (although if you know how the constrain it, please let me know), but I want to know how can I constraint the loading of the graphs to only when viewing the specific tab?

The problem with tabs it that ALL the data will be loaded. You might want to rethink the user interface. Could it also be done with a button that opens a popup or a new page to show that specific data? Because it might not make a difference for the end user to click the tab or to click a button on the first page. Both times the person has to click something.
