Adding loading GIF Image/Adding loading message to your Xcelsius Dashboard.

Initially create your live office or QAWS connections

(Here Qaws-connections)

1)    Add the Query as Web Services Connections.

2)    Add the URL

3)    Import the URL

4)    Select the Usage Tab in the connections

5)    Set your loading message (here Loading)

6)    Set your Idle message (here Ideal)  

7)    Give a Reference cell to an Insert In option (this reference cell is later on used for dynamic visibility of the image component which is used to display the loading message). 

8)    Add the image component 

9)    Go to behavior tab of the image component.

10)    Set the Status to the reference cell which we had specified in the usage tab of qaws connections for the “Insert In:” option. 

11)    Set the key same as that we had specified in the “Loading Message” section of the usage tab in qaws connections.

12)    At the end your qaws is trigger by some component like calendar, buttons, labels etc. hence you will see the loading image will appeared whenever there is some time (delay) require to fetch data from universe(backend).

13)    For the loading message you can take label (etc components) and put your message over it and apply the same dynamic visibility as did for the above Case.
