Iron Python script in spotfire web player

Question

I have a html page which i display a spotfire report in using the web player. I would like to have the option of refreshing the data by pressing a button i create, and i couldnt find a way to do that using the web player. I know there is a way to do this using script in iron python but i dont understand how exactly it works, i mean, when i click the button i would like the script to run. Where do i write it? How do i call it? My html page controller (im using angular) is in java script. Thanks :)

Answer 1

Can't create python scripts in webplayer as far as I know. You need the client. There you can create a Text Area and add an Action Control. Select 'Script' (requires scripting privileges to be able to write code in python) and code to refresh the data table:

myDataTable.Refresh()

myDataTable is a script parameter that points to your visualization data table.
