Displayr

There are use cases where an advanced user wishes to find and replace code in Displayr programmatically based on pre-determined criteria. Currently users can reference an R calculation using the following properties (code, codeForGuiControls) and update them via QScript, but this is not available for R or JavaScript variables. The request is to allow the same functionality available for calculations via QScript for R and JavaScript custom variables. https://wiki.q-researchsoftware.com/wiki/QScript_ROutput

This script currently lives in Q, and it would be great if it were ported to Displayr.

Add Script to Displayr: https://wiki.q-researchsoftware.com/wiki/Modify_Data_-_Use_Question_as_Template_for_Modifying_Other_Questions

I have client requesting something similar to https://displayr.canny.io/displayr/p/modify-data-use-question-as-template-for-modifying-other-questions . As they have to do this for many variables. Perhaps - instead of using as a template, just allow the user to select multiple variables on this screen (attached) to filter. Otherwise, the client has to do this multiple times.

When importing Excel files, the Pick Any question is often saved in a single column with labels of options selected. It would be useful to add a Script (function) allowing users to automatically create a Pick Any question from the single column variable.

A user is trying to improve the performance of their dashboard and would like a way to easily identify which variables have been used and which haven’t so that they can reload a subset of variables.

The Qscript "Numeric Variable from Code Category mid-points" does not function correctly if the delimiter is not a hyphen. For example, the midpoints calculated would be wrong if 18-24 is instead written as 18 to 24.

Often in Documents, you find a lot of (hidden) outputs and variables that aren’t used in the Dashboard. We could add a function that highlights these outputs and allows users to delete them. The same goes for Constructed variables that are produced but not used. Or even source variables that can be removed/ hidden.

Q has a data dictionary function but Displayr does not. This should be ported over in some form, but perhaps using a text box or exported option, as the log screen will not be suitable. For details on this function, see [Data File Information/Dictionary| https://wiki.q-researchsoftware.com/wiki/Quality_Assurance_-_Data_File_Information/Dictionary ]

Thank you again for all your help with getting us going using Displayr. So far things are going great, we are learning a lot (thanks Lena!), and we have lots left to learn 😊_ {color:#ff991f} _Tim, I wanted to follow-up with you on a discussion we had about R scripts. In discussing the difficulty of using the Data Sets section with only the question text, you mentioned that an R script could be run to pre-pend the variable name. So instead of “Which of the following…” we would see “Q10_1: Which of the following…”. Can you assist with this? If we can’t solve in Displayr we will have to make this a prep step outside of Displayr (which we don’t prefer). Right now this is a very big issue for our work flow, but of course once that together we can pretty easily fix._ {color} _Thanks so much._ _have a great weekend!_ _bill._
