Creating Data service for Chart Widget

Hi,

I am trying to create a Data Service for a Chart widget but I am not able to get the right output parameters for the data to be properly displayed in the Chart Widget.

I am using an ION API type data service which is actually calling the an APIFlow endpoint :

The API response is:

The Output parameter looks like (latest try I did):

As you can see, the widget is not getting all the categories/values:

Does anyone can help to adress the dataservice output?

Thanks

I believe your root element should look like: $.result[*] and then the output parameters at the bottom should just be .count and .category

Is this widget getting the most updated data service? If along the way you made a change to the data service, the existing widget would be out of sync with the data service. The data service attached to a widget is essentially a copy at the time of creation, it is not directly linked. This is my best guess as to what happened here, try creating a new widget and see if that fixes the issue.

Hi Caitlin,

I get your point. I don't think the issue comes from this because I actually never saved the Widget since It didn't show the data correctly. So I keep discarding and re-creating the Widget each time I change the data service configuration.

I do not have access to a working example of a Chart widget project in my tenant ( which I think could be helpful).

Thanks

Are you able to create other widgets off this data service? If you do a list widget, are both properties showing up as options in the designer?

I get only the first instant in the array.
