Script Editor

The Script Editor in DataTalk is designed for more experienced users who prefer writing structured code over using visual block-based tools. It offers full flexibility and control for building highly customized and dynamic reports.

Key Features

  • Code-Based Workflow
    • Ideal for users familiar with coding who prefer precision, scalability, and logic-driven workflows.
    • Offers a more powerful and flexible alternative to the block editor for complex report generation tasks.
  • Predefined Functions
    • The editor includes a library of built-in functions to simplify common operations.
    • These functions help speed up report creation and reduce the chance of errors.
  • Chart Template Integration
    • Supports the use of Chart Templates, which can be inserted directly into the script.
    • When selected, the system automatically generates the corresponding chart code, which users can then modify or embed within their report logic.

Benefits

  • Advanced Control: Provides greater flexibility for manipulating data, adding conditions, or building dynamic logic.
  • Reusability: Scripted components can be reused, extended, and customized more easily for large-scale projects.
  • Efficiency for Power Users: Faster workflow for experienced users who are comfortable with code.

The Script Editor is the go-to tool for developers or technical users looking to build tailored, logic-rich reports beyond what the visual editor offers—perfect for automating complex reporting scenarios with maximum control.
