Tile widget performance in NAB

[Theo Kusters]

Hi,
Working with the tile widget in the NAB is very slow, because its trying to load all the data. Is there a way to speed this up? In the app only 1 record is selected and the performance is alright.
Regards,
Theo

Hi Theo,

You can cache your data source so it doesn't have to run each time while designing widgets etc while in Nitro App Builder "Designer". Please see the attached image.

Hi Theo -

Maybe try to cache the data source. This option is available when you click the left side menu against a data source.

Thanks for your quick replies.
That actually made it worse.
I do not get in the Edit widget anymore.

Just to be complete:

I have some html code in the tile widget. I needed more layout functionality than available in the form widget. Thats why I use the tile widget in combination with html.

I removed the cache, now I can edit the widget again. (with poor performance)

The html code:


<table class="blueTable" style="width: 100%">
<colgroup>
<col span="1" style="width: 35%;"/>
<col span="1" style="width: 65%;"/>
</colgroup>
<!-- Put <thead>, <tbody>, and <tr>'s here! -->
<tbody>
