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 add data to the Canvas by clicking and dragging the section of data in the Subscription Section to the screen.
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.
The Edit menu for Data Elements has three sections that you switch between using the buttons on the right side of the ribbon.

You can add multiple data elements to one layout, and each can be configured differently through it’s settings.

Below we will review the three menu sections for a Data Elements settings.

What is the Ticker Element?

The Ticker Element displays scrolling text, like what you would see at the bottom of the screen when watching a news channel.
Tickers also work with Data Subscriptions to show the information an adapter has instead of a manually typed message

Ticker Element Options

Bold

Gives the text a heavier weight, making it slightly larger.

Italic

Makes the text display slanted to the right.

Font Size

Allows you change the size of the text utilizing a slider. You can also click on the numerical indicator to type in the size that you would like. The size is measured in vmin. More information about vmin can be found here: https://www.w3schools.com/csSref/css_units.asp

Font Family

Lets you change the font or styling of the text. If you would like a custom font, please contact our technical support to have custom fonts added.

Current Color

Changes the highlighted text to the current text color selected. To select a different text color, click the down arrow just to the left of this button and you can choose a color from the color picker, type a hexadecimal color value, or use the dropper to select a color already used in your layout. Click the green arrow in the lower right hand corner to save your selection.

Paragraph

Gives you the options for justifying your text. Available options are Left, Center, or Right.

Undo

Reverse the last change you made.

Redo

This reverses the action of the Undo button.

Word Wrap

If turned on, this causes the text to scroll in more than one line, the number of llines depending on the length of the text and size of your Ticker element. When turned off, all text will scroll in one line.

Direction

Allows you to choose if you want to text to scroll to the right, left, up, or down.

Speed

• 0.25 – Slowest
• 0.5
• 0.75
• 1
• 1.5
• 2
• 3 – Fastest

Using Ticker to Show Data from Adapter

• First, you will have to create a data adapter and subscribe the layout to the adapter
  • For more information on these steps see
    • Working with Data Adapters
    • Adding a Data Subscription to a Layout
• Once subscribed Drag the data point that you wish to show from the subscription area of the control panel on top of the ticker element on the canvas
• This will create a new option in the settings for a ticker for styling specific to a subscription
