  • Relative: same as percent but between 0 and 1.

Callback Name of your callback.

Code rendering in Mashup editor

When you have saved your list you can go to the *.js tab and check the code rendered by the Mashup editor. The rendered code is placed at the bottom of the JavaScript file:

	//create cubes and lists -- inserted here --

Example: Code rendering of added list

In this example, we use the helpdesk mashup example. We add a new hypercube, select the Status field, and name the callback StatusList. The following lines of code are generated by the Mashup editor, and can be viewed on the *.js tab:
	//create cubes and lists -- inserted here --
	app.createList({
		"qFrequencyMode": "V",
		"qDef": {
				"qFieldDefs": [
						"Status"
				]
		},
		"qExpressions": [],
		"qInitialDataFetch": [
				{
						"qHeight": 20,
						"qWidth": 1
				}
		],
		"qLibraryId": null
	},StatusList);
The Mashup editor also generates the placeholder for your callback:
	//callbacks -- inserted here --
	function StatusList(reply, app){}
