Hi,
I m using Axure 8.1.0, i wanted to know whether its possible to import a file with data into axure for eg: an excel which has data elements and these data elements can then be used as global variable?
We are having a project where the data is different for differnet geographies, so what we want to achive is maintain one excel where we input all the data elements eg: Name Edward Cullen etc now this name will change when we want to use the project for other geographies, so if we can change the data in this excel and import in axure and the same gets read as global variable? is this possible
Hi!
At one point someone had a solution for importing values from a Google Docs spreadsheet, but the site that hosted it has disappeared.
Another solution would be to create one widget (say, a hotspot) for each set of variables that you want to switch between, and use the widget’s OnMove handler to set these variables. For example, the two hotspots below are named variablesA and variablesB that set the variables name, address, and phone.
To choose which one to load, use the OnPageLoad event to move one hotspot or the other by 0,0, which will trigger that OnMove event:
It might not be ideal for your workflow, since it involves editing the RP file (as opposed to having another team member fill out a spreadsheet), but it’s significantly easier than getting Axure to read from an external source. Also, once you create the first one, making a new variable set involves simply copying and pasting the widget and changing the values assigned to the variables.
