Quiver time range - Shared Time Axis update issue

Hi,

I’m using Quiver and timeseries for a project and it appears I’m encountering an issue regarding the shared time axis variable not updating with one I have created myself.

On my time series chart I have assigned a specific shared time axis linked with a correlated time range. Here the variable $ZQ and $ZO.

The issue comes when I’m implementing my quiver Dashboard in the Frontend (inside a Workshop)

I have checked every graph and transformation before my final one that they are ISO and they are.
Also even on the preview and the Quiver Dashboard themselves it appears the same as I have on my Workshop implementation.
I don’t know if I’m missing a parameter to enable or disable.

Does someone has ever encounter the same issue or can help me solve this mystery.
Thanks

Hello,

Are you able to share the configuration of $ZO the time range that is controlling your shared time axis? I’m specifically curious if you have any inputs to your dashboard that are also controlling the time range; if this is the case it could be that one of those inputs does not have a defined value!

Hi,

Here is the configuration of the time range and the dependant variables:

$ZM and $ZM are configured the same way (different timestamp in output of course):

I have a default value assigned if the function provides an error, where the value is defined manually inside the Quiver itself.

I made sure that we have a value but here it is the shared time axis that is not actualizing properly between my quiver in edit mode and the linked Quiver Dashboard.

Hmm, any chance $PW is an input to the dashboard (find dashboard inputs in the dashboard edit view right side configuration panel)? Are we falling back to the default dates — i.e. is 2025/01/31 the default start date ($IK), same for the default end date?

Yes $PW is an input of the Dashboard. From that variable I’m using a property (Timestamp) of the object which is used in $ZM and $ZN.
Inside my Quiver I have a single object selector that is set as input of the Quiver Dashboard (even if the object input is empty, quiver is selecting a default object)

Regardless that part, my object is always filled.

Also I’m never falling back on the default timestamp set since I already handling that part inside my typescript function.

And I even tried to add a tab in my quiver dashboard with all those parameters visible and they are similar as If I try in edit mode. It is only on the Time series charts that the time range and shared axis aren’t similar (value + variable given (here $B instead of $ZO and $ZQ))

Hmm, is the issue that (1) you are seeing different dates in the dashboard preview mode relative to edit mode? Or are you saying that (2) you would like the additional configuration to be available on the shared time axis in preview mode (e.g. modifying fit to extend behavior)?

For (1), I believe this could be that you are using an object selector as a dashboard input but not setting a default value for that object selector. Without a default value the object selector will just take the first object it finds when loading the input for the selector (i.e. this could be different from your manual selection in Quiver).

For (2), we typically do not allow configuration changes in dashboard mode! If this is what you are hoping for I’d be curious to hear the high level workflow you are trying to accomplish.

Hi,
I was the (2) method to simply check the value that I have in my quiver edit in order to check that the information linked to my selected meter are correct without intention of modifying them directly from the Quiver Dashboard

So it’s the (1) issue. I’m seeing different dates in the Dashboard preview that the one I have in the edit mode. I have set up the default meter so in my preview it is working accordingly (similar dates) but once I change the input the shared time axis is also changing and once more the dates aren’t the same as it should be.

The first thing I want to try is to remove $B from every graph this variable is dependant.
The problem is, visually I have removed it everywhere I could find this variable in the chart configuration but it still appears as a dependency in most of them.

once I change the input the shared time axis is also changing and once more the dates aren’t the same as it should be

And you noted previously:

I even tried to add a tab in my quiver dashboard with all those parameters visible and they are similar as If I try in edit mode. It is only on the Time series charts that the time range and shared axis aren’t similar

To confirm, the dates being returned by your function are correct (i.e. $ZM and $ZN contain the expected values for the input object)?

You just don’t want the time axis of all charts to update, but you are running into an issue where you can’t create a new time axis for the charts? Or are you saying that even though $ZM and $ZN are correct, the time axis is not reflecting those values?

It is the second things you are pointing out.
While $ZM and $ZN are correct and actualising accordingly to the selected object, my time range axis isn’t actualizing properly with those values and remains on a default one.
While looking at the shared time axis configuration, the variable given is $B in viewer/preview mode but in edit mode on my quiver, the shared time axis given is $ZQ.
$ZQ is using a time range controlled dates the variables $ZM and $ZN grouped under a Date/time range parameter $ZO.
➥start date: $ZM, end date: $ZN;
➥Date/time range parameter: $ZO;
➥Shared time axis: $ZQ

So in edit mode for my said time series chart:

In preview mode:

Hey Benjamin,

Apologies for the delay, I spent some time attempting to reproduce this issue but was unable to. It looks like you have gotten into a bugged state; namely the fact that when you preview the dashboard you see a different time axis as well as the fact that the referenced time axis still exists and even though it shows no linked plots.

I would recommend attempting to recreate the plots and a new controlled shared time axis!

Hi, I will try to create a new quiver Dashboard to see if the problem is fixed and I’ll get back to you with the outcome.

Hi, I have recreated a new quiver and my issue seems to be fixed.
I tried to check in further details why this default shared time axis was still linked to some charts and couldn’t figured it out why.
In any case recreating a new one solved my issue.

Thanks for the support/

Thanks for following up. Happy to hear it has been resolved.

On our end, we will keep an eye out for shared axis inconsistencies!
