Data that has been brought into Korbyt through a Data Intigration can be displayed on a Layout or Message through by configuring a Data Subscription.
You connect to the data in the Builder Tool control panel in the Subscriptions section

This “subscribes” the layout or message to a data table already built in Korbyt through Data Intigration and Data Adapters.
If you need assistance with Data Adapters, see the Working with Data Adapters and Data Integration article

The Subscription Section of the control panel will look different is a subscription has already been created or not

In Either Case, clicking the blue Configure button will open the menu to establish the data Subscription. This is the connection that links this design to a specific source of data within Korbyt.

This Guide will cover both

• Configuring Data Subscriptions
  • This creates the connection between the data adapter and the design
• Making the Data Seen
  • How to add and format the data for the final visual

Configuring a Data Subscription

Linking the data from an Adapter to the Layout or Message in the Builder Tool

The screenshots for Configuring a data subscription start from not having an existing subscription. Editing an existing subscription would show the same options just with the current value already filled in

If you need more than 30 Rows of Data set the Limit number to 0, which will go through as many rows of data as there is. This will need to be used in conjunction with the Paging setting so that smaller sets of data are brough in and shown “paging through” untill all data is shown

If you are interested in Filtering the data that the Subscription draws in check out the article Data Subscriptions – Filtering

Making the Data Seen

Once you have Configured the Data Subscription to the Layout or Message see above steps you can add the data points to the canvas.

You can add the Entire Subscription, or any specific Column of Data

Once Added to the Canvas it can be customized througth Gear Settings Menu > Edit Element like other builder elements.

What is the Chart Element?

The Chart Element allows you to display data from a Data Adapter or manually entered data in a chart format.

When you add a chart to a Builder canvas is will create a generic graph that you can then edit by Opening the Settings Gear in the upper right and then clicking Edit Element

Chart Element options

You can now adjust the following options:

 Columns

This allows you to adjust the column name and data type

 Data

This allows you to manually put in the data of the chat you wish to display.

  Chart Editor

This allow you to customize your chart on how it displays:

Charting Data from an Adapter

Instead of manually entering data you can set up a subscription, and what data you wish to present.
Once that is set up, you can drag the subscription on top of the Chart Element and it will update the chart and dynamically update as the data updates.
