PERSPECTIVE XY Chart loading is slow and unable to save designer when bullets are enabled

guganathan.r · April 19, 2020, 3:10pm

Hi,
I just tried to use xy chart from a SQL DB. As long as I maintain the series rendering as line without bullets, the chart loads faster without any issue. Whenever I enable bullets, system becomes too slow and designer is unable to save the project.

Ignition version is 8.0.10

Appreciate your advise.

Sorry to see this. We have a fix currently in the works that should hopefully be available soon. Curious, is the view you are having problems with is heavy with components? You could try scaling things back a little? Perhaps less visible data points?

Hi, Noted with thanks. Yes the view is loaded with too many components. Can I seek your suggestion, is it good to have a tab container with multiple tabs or split into individual view is better?

I planned to have the charts under QC Report tab which has same number of sub-tabs as well.

In terms of design or performance? If design, making use of a drill down nav menu might be something to look into. General principles of web design would recommend simplifying. In case you missed this talk by Ray and Perry at the ICC last year (" Designing Effective Mobile-Responsive Industrial Applications"), I’d highly recommend it. In terms of performance, views are a bit more resource intensive than typical components, since they have startup and shutdown lifecycles. Long story short, it all depends.
