Run Integration Cards and Highcharts in a Tile

In this section, you will discover how to configure a tile that can display either an Integration Card or a Highchart.

As a result, your launchpad will feature two tiles, one showcasing a Calendar Card and the other displaying a Box-Plot graph.

Prerequisites

A launchpad
A Tile Group has be defined in order to add the tile to the group.
A script
An API

Procedure

You will have to create two scripts containing the data and structure

Define the scripts

Create a new Project and add two new scripts:
1. IntCard
2. HighChart

Add the following in the IntCard script:

result.data = {  // our API response
  "_version": "1.14.0",
  "sap.app": {
	"id": "card.explorer.simple.calendar.card",

}

For more Integration Card examples visit the SAP Card Explorer and for Highcharts visit the Highchart Demos Page.

Define the API

Define an API in the API Designer and set the type as Server Script
In the API, create two definitions , set the Method as GET and set the Path as:
1. /highchart
2. /intcard
Next to the Path click on the URL Button and copy the URL path from a full URL. For example:

/api/serverscript/tilecards/intcard

Copy the path for both definitions. They will be used for defining our tiles.

Define the two Tiles

Now that our scripts and APIs are set, all we have to do is to define the two tiles and add them in a tile group.

Create two tiles, give meaningful names and set the type as Integration Card and Highchart accordingly
Paste the previously copied path into the Data URL for each tile

Results

Once you have added the two tiles to a tile group and included the tile group in your launchpad, you will have two functioning tiles displaying information and other content.
