[[edit-workpads]]
|
||||
== Edit workpads
|
||||
|
||||
To create the look and feel that you want, apply format settings to the entire workpad, or individual elements.
|
||||
|
||||
[float]
|
||||
[[create-variables]]
|
||||
=== Create variables
|
||||
|
||||
When you frequently use copy and paste, create variables to easily reuse strings and patterns. For example, when you clone a large workpad and need to connect your elements to a new index, use variables to update
|
||||
each element instead of updating them manually.
|
||||
|
||||
. Create the variables.
|
||||
.. Click *Add a variable*.
|
||||
.. Specify the variable options, then click *Save changes*.
|
||||
|
||||
. Apply the variable.
|
||||
.. Copy the variable.
|
||||
.. Select the element you want to change, then open the expression editor.
|
||||
.. Paste the variable.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to change the index pattern for a set of charts:
|
||||
|
||||
Specify the variable options.
|
||||
|
||||
[role="screenshot"]
|
||||
image::images/specify_variable_syntax.png[Specify the variable syntax]
|
||||
|
||||
Copy the variable, then apply it to each element you want to update in the *Expression editor*.

[[apply-changes-to-the-entire-workpad]]
|
||||
=== Apply changes to the entire workpad
|
||||
|
||||
With stylesheets, you can change the look of the entire workpad, including fonts, colors, layout, and more.
|
||||
|
||||
To get started, enter the changes you want to make in the *Global CSS overrides* text editor, then click *Apply stylesheet*.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to change the background for the entire workpad, enter:
|
||||
|
||||
[source,text]
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||
.canvasPage {
|
||||
background-color: #3990e6;

[[change-the-element-settings]]

||||
|
||||
. To familiarize yourself with the element, use the preconfigured data demo data.
|
||||
+
|
||||
By default, most of the elements you create use demo data until you change the data source. The demo data includes a small data set that you can use to experiment with your element.
|
||||
|
||||
. To connect the element to your data, select *Data*, then select one of the following data sources:
|
||||
|

* *{es} SQL* — Access your data in {es} using SQL syntax. For information about SQL syntax, refer to {ref}/sql-spec.html[SQL language].

* *{es} documents* — Access your data in {es} without using aggregations. To use, select an index and fields, and optionally enter a query using the <<lucene-query,Lucene Query Syntax>>. Use the *{es} documents* data source when you have low volume datasets, to view raw documents, or to plot exact, non-aggregated values on a chart.
|
||||
|
||||
* *Timelion* — Access your time series data using <<timelion,Timelion>> queries. To use Timelion queries, you can enter a query using the <<lucene-query,Lucene Query Syntax>>.
|
||||
|
||||
Each element can display a different data source. Pages and workpads often contain multiple data sources.

[[create-elements]]
|
||||
=== Create elements
|
||||
|
||||
Choose the type of element you want to use, then use the preconfigured demo data to familiarize yourself with the element. When you're ready, connect the element to your own data. By default, most of the elements you create use
|
||||
demo data until you change the data source. The demo data includes a small data set that you can use to experiment with your element.
|
||||
|
||||
To begin, click *Add element*, then select the element you want to use.
|
||||
|
||||
[role="screenshot"]
|
||||
image::images/canvas-element-select.gif[Canvas elements]
|
||||
|
||||
When you're ready to connect the element to your data, select *Data*, then select one of the following data sources:
|
||||
|
||||
* *{es} SQL* — Access your data in {es} using {ref}/sql-spec.html[SQL syntax].
|
||||
|
||||
* *{es} documents* — Access your data in {es} without using aggregations. To use, select an index and fields, and optionally enter a query using the <<lucene-query,Lucene Query Syntax>>. Use the *{es} documents* data source when you have low volume datasets, to view raw documents, or to plot exact, non-aggregated values on a chart.
|
||||
|
||||
* *Timelion* — Access your time series data using <<timelion,Timelion>> queries. To use Timelion queries, you can enter a query using the <<lucene-query,Lucene Query Syntax>>.
|
||||
|
||||
Each element can display a different data source, and pages and workpads often contain multiple data sources.
|
||||
|
||||
When you're ready to save your element, select the element, then click *Edit > Save as new element*.
