.xml connection to an existing dashboard

other Xcelsius - Crystal Dashboard Design
1

Hi there BOB forum!

I’ve created this dashboard using QaaWS connections to populate the underlying spreadsheet, it all looks wonderful and works well, however with more than about 5 concurrent users slows to a crawl because the data warehouse can’t handle it. So, if i can create a cached xml file of all of the QaaWS queries and then connect them to my existing visualization all would be great.

however, i can’t!

all i can think to do is import the xml into an xls, then import that into a new xcelsius file and start the visualization from scratch…

so, is there a way of connecting this xlm to my existing dashboard?

any help would be very much appreciated! :stuck_out_tongue:

What version of xcsius are you using? I’m on the latesest version and I can create a connection to an xml file with no problems.

using an xml document is the most stable way of supplying a model with data…

Look in the Data Manager tool New Connection > XML. All you have to do is point to a URL where the XML file is, then define a range where the data should be imported to in Excel.
