Properties for an embedded MicroStrategy dashboard consumption page

When you embed a MicroStrategy dashboard consumption page into a web page, you use the embedDossierConsumptionPage(props) method under the microstrategy.embeddingContexts namespace.

Method

microstrategy.embeddingContexts.embedDossierConsumptionPage(props)

This method creates an iFrame on the web page (in the location specified by the placeholder property) and inserts a link to the MicroStrategy dashboard consumption page URL (specified by the serverUrl property).

Return value

This method returns a promise, which is resolved when the MicroStrategy dashboard consumption page is loaded.

Input parameters

The props parameter contains required key:value pairs that defines the Library Server URL and the <div> placeholder where the iFrame containing the MicroStrategy dashboard consumption page will be created. It can also contain other optional key:value pairs to customize the UI, authentication and custom error handler.

The props parameter could contain the following key:value pairs:

Properties

placeholder

Reference for the container <div>.

Required?

Yes

Default value

N/A

Sample

microstrategy.embeddingContexts.embedDossierConsumptionPage({
  placeholder: document.getElementById("container"),
  serverUrl: "https://demo.microstrategy.com/MicroStrategyLibrary",
  projectId: "B19DEDCC11D4E0EFC000EB9495D0F44F",
  objectId: "D9AB379D11EC92C1D9DC0080EFD415BB",
});

serverUrl, projectId, objectId

The required parameters in the dashboard URL.

These properties build the full report page URL to be embedded. The Embedding SDK builds the URL using serverUrl + '/app/' + projectId + '/' + objectId + '/' + pageKey.

Required?

Yes

Default value

N/A

Sample

microstrategy.embeddingContexts.embedDossierConsumptionPage({
  placeholder: document.getElementById("container"),
  serverUrl: "https://demo.microstrategy.com/MicroStrategyLibrary",
  projectId: "B19DEDCC11D4E0EFC000EB9495D0F44F",
  objectId: "D9AB379D11EC92C1D9DC0080EFD415BB",
});

customApplicationId, pageKey

The optional parameters in the dashboard URL.

Specifies the application and page that the user wants to show in the embedded page.

When these parameters are specified, the embeded page URL would become serverUrl + '/app/config/' + customApplicationId + '/' + projectId + '/' + objectId + '/' + pageKey.

Required?

No

Default value

N/A

Sample

microstrategy.embeddingContexts.embedDossierConsumptionPage({
  placeholder: document.getElementById("container"),
  serverUrl: "https://demo.microstrategy.com/MicroStrategyLibrary",
  projectId: "B19DEDCC11D4E0EFC000EB9495D0F44F",
  objectId: "D9AB379D11EC92C1D9DC0080EFD415BB",
  customApplicationId: "2AAC5EA4C57449FE9C0F69FE751DCFDB",
  pageKey: "K53--K46",
});

containerHeight

Sets the height of the placeholder.

If the style of the placeholder has a height value, the containerHeight property is ignored.

The containerHeight property is applied as a style: style="height: $(containerHeight)".

Required?

No

Default value

600px

Sample

microstrategy.embeddingContexts.embedDossierConsumptionPage({
  placeholder: document.getElementById("container"),
  serverUrl: "https://demo.microstrategy.com/MicroStrategyLibrary",
  projectId: "B19DEDCC11D4E0EFC000EB9495D0F44F",
  objectId: "D9AB379D11EC92C1D9DC0080EFD415BB",
  containerHeight: "600px",
});

containerWidth

Sets the width of the placeholder.

If the style of the placeholder has a width value, the containerWidth property is ignored.

Required?

No

Default value

800px

Sample

microstrategy.embeddingContexts.embedDossierConsumptionPage({
  placeholder: document.getElementById("container"),
  serverUrl: "https://demo.microstrategy.com/MicroStrategyLibrary",
  projectId: "B19DEDCC11D4E0EFC000EB9495D0F44F",
  objectId: "D9AB379D11EC92C1D9DC0080EFD415BB",
  containerWidth: "800px",
});

enableCustomAuthentication

Specifies whether custom authentication is enabled.

Required?

No

Default value

false

User needs to log in from the default login page.

Sample

N/A

customAuthenticationType

Specifies the token type returned by the getLoginToken function. There are two possible values, which can be provided by the CustomAuthenticationType enumeration.

Required?

No

Default value

microstrategy.dossier.CustomAuthenticationType.IDENTITY_TOKEN

Sample

N/A

getLoginToken

Specifies a function that returns a promise, which is resolved with either authorization token (authToken) or the identity token (identityToken) The token type is specified by the customAuthenticationType property.

Required?

No

Default value

See the sample code in the next column for the default implementation of this function.

Sample

When customAuthenticationType is set to CustomAuthenticationType.AUTH_TOKEN, the following sample demonstrates how to send a fetch request to get authToken with your credentials. You can do this using an XMLHttpRequest, if your browser does not support fetch.

The getLoginToken function can be found in the getLoginToken doc

microstrategy.embeddingContexts.embedDossierConsumptionPage({
  placeholder: document.getElementById("container"),
  serverUrl: "https://demo.microstrategy.com/MicroStrategyLibrary",
  projectId: "B19DEDCC11D4E0EFC000EB9495D0F44F",
  objectId: "D9AB379D11EC92C1D9DC0080EFD415BB",
  enableCustomAuthentication: true,
  customAuthenticationType: microstrategy.dossier.CustomAuthenticationType.AUTH_TOKEN,
  // The following function is the default implementation. User can provide custom implementation.
  getLoginToken() {
    // The similar logic as getLoginToken in existing Embedding SDK
  },
});

When customAuthenticationType is set to CustomAuthenticationType.IDENTITY_TOKEN, you need to add a component to your web server. Refer to Use Custom Authentication for more information.

disableCustomErrorHandlerOnCreate

To disable the custom error handler, set disableCustomErrorHandlerOnCreate to true.

If this flag is set, all the errors occur in the initial loading process and manual actions would be handled by OOTB Library itself, an error dialog would pop up.

You could also refer to Custom error handling during dashboard creation.

Required?

No

Default value

false

Sample

N/A

errorHandler

The custom error handler that executes when the error occurs in the initial loading process. It's a callback function that contains one parameter, error. The error object has the property message, which contains the detailed error message.

Whether errorHandler is set, the error occured inside the embeded page would output an error in the browser console. The detailed behavior could be seen in The overall MicroStrategy Library error behavior in embed case.

Required?

No

Default value

N/A

Sample

microstrategy.embeddingContexts.embedDossierConsumptionPage({
  serverUrl: "https://demo.microstrategy.com/MicroStrategyLibrary",
  projectId: "B19DEDCC11D4E0EFC000EB9495D0F44F",
  objectId: "D9AB379D11EC92C1D9DC0080EFD415BB",
  placeholder: document.getElementById("container"),
  errorHandler: (error) => {
    console.log(`catch error during creation: ${error.message}`);
    // Do something to handle the error
  },
});

sessionErrorHandler

The custom error handler that executes when an session expiration error occurs. It's a callback function that contains one parameter, error. The error object has the property message, which contains the detailed error message.

When session expires:

• If sessionErrorHandler is not set, the embedded page would redirect to the OOTB library login page.
• If sessionErrorHandler is set, the session error handler would be triggered and the embedded page would not change for 1 minute. If after 1 minute, the error handler doesn't do anything(like reauthentication and refresh page) to renew the session, the embedded page would redirect to the OOTB Library login page.

Required?

No

Default value

N/A

Sample

microstrategy.embeddingContexts.embedDossierConsumptionPage({
  serverUrl: "https://demo.microstrategy.com/MicroStrategyLibrary",
  projectId: "B19DEDCC11D4E0EFC000EB9495D0F44F",
  objectId: "D9AB379D11EC92C1D9DC0080EFD415BB",
  placeholder: document.getElementById("container"),
  sessionErrorHandler: (error) => {
    console.log(`catch session error: ${error.message}`);
    // Do something to handle the error
  },
});
