"Metric Explorers" on an Azure portal dashboard are quite flexible.
To configure them is, however, a bit painful at times.
With the terms in above image:
How do I change the order of my charts within an explorer?
How do I copy a chart or a whole explorer?
Is there a textual definition I can get or give? Is there other software for a better editing experience?
How do I change the order of my charts within an explorer?
Unfortunately there isn't a direct way to reorder the charts within an explorer. As a workaround you could however, delete them and add them again so that they appear at the bottom. Remember everytime you click 'Add New Chart', it will add it at the bottom.
Also please note that all graphical charts (Line, Area and Bar) appear above whereas a Grid chart will always appear at the bottom. So here's an even simpler hack that you could use: If there's any chart that you want to send to them bottom, change it's type to Grid and then change it back again. It'll get pushed to the end.
How do I copy a chart or a whole explorer?
You can click on More and then click Save Favorite which will save the whole metrics explorer blade (including all custom charts). You can give it a name and even save as a copy to create multiple copies of the whole explorer.
To access favorites, you'll have to go to the Overview tab and click on More followed by Favorites again. Favorites can be shared as well as personal.
Is there a textual definition I can get or give? Is there other software for a better editing experience?
There isn't a textual definition that you can provide for the charts. If you'd like to see this feature, you can add to the user voice or open an issue on github.
There isn't a software available for creating charts in the metrics explorer blade. However, there are alternatives for visualizing and querying data. You can take a look at Analytics if you prefer writing queries to filter insights and telemetry data. It has a very easy-to-learn query language which can help create meaningful charts very easily. There is a lot of tooling and support to push these charts to Power BI as well.
Hope this helps!

The website of PageSpeed Insight is the only place, where i get CLS issue in both of field and lab data.
Any other Lighthouse instance (by WPT, as API or by DevTools) displays CLS issue only in field data, not in the lab.
How can i diagnose correctly, which elements are causing CLS? Example.
PS: My question has the following cause: analyzing other websites i usually have under devtools → performance red diamonds layout shift, which, if clicked, display in tab Summary some data about this layout shift. Like on the screenshot:
But on the example site i get CLS diagnosted, but not displayed.
The synthetic (lab) tests only load the page (they do not interact with it), whereas field data is until page unload.
Immediately I can see one Layout shift is when you open either of the drop down menus, your scroll bars disappear (due to adding the class .overlayed) and the whole page shifts around. Synthetic tests do not open the menu so will never capture it, however this shouldn't actually contribute to CLS as it requires interaction to open (just something to fix).
The other thing I noticed is the bottom right corner icons cause a layout shift when you scroll and they collapse / open (the floating icons). This is likely to be the cause of CLS as it isn't via direct interaction. Scrolling does not count as user interaction when it comes to CLS.
My guess is that this is the one that gets found by synthetic tests sometimes and not others.
Finding Layout Shifts
In order to find layout shifts you can open developer tools, go to rendering panel (you may need to open it with "more tools") and click "Layout Shift Regions" so it is selected.
Now use the site and you will get a blue box around anything that shifts.
Or you could use performance traces
The other way is to run a performance trace in the performance tab and then just use the site. Once you are done complete the trace and it will tell you if a layout shift occurred and what item caused it.
Tracking them in the field
In order to capture layout shifts in the field yourself you should use something like Google Web Vitals library along with click / mouse position tracking etc and pipe it to your own backend or Google Analytics for analysis.
This lets you find issues with the page a lot more quickly and easily using Real User Metrics (RUM) data in real-time.
I have an application I am developing with Access 2010. In certain circumstances I have to limit the users to a very limited subset of the application. This implies a limited Ribbon - by setting a dbProperties to "AllowAllMenus" to false, and changing the File menu (using a Custom Backstage ribbon).
This blocks most off the holes that would allow the user to get back to full menus, and then have access to data I would rather he didn't.
However, there is a hole in this process. The quick access toolbar as a little drop down arrow on the end of it with a hover of "Customise Toolbar". Using it drops down a menu with "More Commands...". Clicking on that drops you into the same dialog box you get when you chose "Options" from the File Menu (disabling of which was the prime purpose of my Backstage Ribbon change).
I can of course do the following in VBA
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon",acToolbarNo
but that hides all the menus and Quick Access Toolbar completely. I don't want that, because I still need to allow the user to set up filters and toggle them on an off from the data they do see.
I can't find any other reference to how to block up this security hole in the applcation. Does anyone have any ideas on how?
Assuming that you already have your custom ribbon, make sure that you have assigned: startFromScratch="true".
However, this will disable not only "More Commands..", but all the other options of QAT dropdown list as well, except "Show Below the Ribbon".
I would like to use AutoHotKey to bring an access database to the screen, then take focus on one form (the form is open, but there will always be multiple other forms open at the same time, additionally, the form in question could be stacked at the bottom) and then the rest can be done with custom shortcuts that only work in this form.
I am also open for other solutions to do the same job, mouse clicks is also a possibility but forms are not always in the same place on different computers and they can also be moved during a session.
This is what I have been testing so far:
Bring up the database with IfWinExist, [title of window]
Then I tried using ControlFocus, [ControllerName]
That did work, but the controllername changes depending on what other forms are open and in which order they where last clicked on.
I have made a screenshot:
Any help would be nice, my main problem is that I do not know what AHK can do and therefore I feel very limited.
In the place of WinTitle you can also use other parameters of the window, not only WinTitle. More about it here: http://ahkscript.org/docs/misc/WinTitle.htm
Also you can use ImageSearch to get coordinates of the window and use these coordinates to move window without WinMove like here: http://ahkscript.org/boards/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4013
I am trying to code an app in Qt for capturing and then sharing the screenshots. For now my application captures the screenshot, shows a preview and saves it. I am yet to do the upload part. but before that I would like to be able to select the area of the screen of which the screenshot needs to be captured.
I tried searching and I couldn't find any helpful articles or documents in Qt. So can anyone help me?
PS: The idea is to create a similar app like lightshot and several other similar tools.
Thanks in advance
There are two methods that you can use for this: -
1) Capture an image of the screen and then display that, full screen to the user, essentially allowing the user to crop the image.
2) A more commonly used method is to create a full-screen, topmost window that has no title bar and is transparent. This allows the user to drag out an area, which you can draw an outline to represent the area the user requires.
I recommend the 2nd method and creating a transparent window is simply a matter of changing the window flags, as you can see here.
In my application, I create the reports from source code by using fast report.
I wish to give the user the ability to modify the report by using the fast report designer.
Once the changes done by the user, how I can read the preview screen and find properties of certain fields, such as left, top, width, font etc.
TfrxMemoview(report.components[I]).left always results the original value, not the revised.
Thanks
You will have to recreate the preview. The preview is already what you want to print. If you do not like what you see recreate it. But it is possible to read all properties from the preview.
