What problem does it solve?
Users need to visualize financial data on Simulator graphs by creating charts and dashboards with minimal steps, and to configure dynamic data sources and layouts.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Primary Tool — createChart builds the full chart pipeline: filter creation, dashboard placement, layer association, data inheritance, and expandType for widget rendering.
- Mode 1 — actorFilter (dynamic source): automatically renders top-N actors from a form, with optional reuse of an existing filter.
- Mode 2 — direct accounts (explicit series): charts specified by explicit actor accounts and currencies.
- Before Calling createChart — prerequisites and helpers: discover layerId, sourceFormId, accountNameId, currencyId with getForms/getAccountNames/getCurrencies, and how to locate the layer actor on a graph.
- Lookup Helpers: commands to fetch IDs and navigate the workspace.
Quick Start
Use createChart with your layerId, title, and either sourceFormId/accountNameId/currencyId to build a new chart or supply a preexisting filterActorId to reuse a filter and place the chart on the layer.
