URL Parameters
URL Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
autorefreshpreview=[true/false] | Disables auto-refresh of graphic preview if set to false. |
candeletepilotelements=[true/false] | Lets you delete data elements from the database if set to true. |
maps=[hostname] | Overrides the setting shared_curious_server defined in the Pilot Data Server. |
preview=[hostname] | Overrides the setting preview_server_uri defined in the Pilot Data Server. |
showpilotelements=[true/false] | Hides the data element list if set to false. Overrides the setting ax_hide_data_elements defined in the Pilot Data Server. |
mosid=[mosid] | Overrides <MOSID> in the generated MOS XML for data elements. Default is PILOT. The URL parameter also overrides the ax_mosid database parameter. |
disablepilotelementoverwrite=true | Hides the overwrite button if true. |
override-initial-concept=<concept id> | Overrides the initial concept selection in the find graphics "tab" in Pilot Edge. It overrides the local storage setting and re-selects the specified concept each time Pilot Edge is loaded. The list of concepts and their id can be found in the service document for PDS , host:8177/concepts, and it is the numeric part of the id that it is used. Note: This feature is only applied when Viz Pilot Edge is loaded for the first time. If a newsroom system only hides Viz Pilot Edge and shows the previously loaded version, this is not applied. |
sendbutton | Force the Send to Newsroom system button to appear. |
origin=[URL] | When hosted in an iframe, Viz Pilot Edge uses window.PostMessage to communicate with the host window. The origin parameter is a safety measure to ensure that only the window with the given origin gets the message. If not present, Viz Pilot Edge falls back to using *, which makes the browser skip this check. |
collections=[collection1,collection2…] | Open Viz Pilot Edge with a predefined set of collections available to the user. This is useful when authentication is not enabled, allowing access to specific concepts to be limited, based on the workstation where Viz Pilot Edge is used or configured. |
