Can CSV column data type be changed at runtime?

Hello,
 
 
Thank you for your question.
 
 
1) How to change the date data type during runtime:

In Flexmonster, for CSV and JSON data sources, the date data type can be changed via the defaultDateType option.
The defaultDateType parameter specifies which data types should be applied to date fields by default, for example:

options: {
   "defaultDateType": "date string"
}

 
This report configuration can be changed during runtime via the getReport() and setReport() API calls as shown in the code snippet below:

var report = pivot.getReport({withDefaults: true});
report.options.defaultDateType = "year/month/day";
pivot.setReport(report);

An important remark is that data from date fields should be in the ISO 8601 date format to work properly.
 
Please keep in mind that changing the data type requires reloading the data.

 
2) Adding a new Tab to the Toolbar:
 
The Toolbar can be customized using the beforetoolbarcreated event to add/remove/change the Toolbar's Tabs.
 
Here is a JSFiddle example for illustration: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/5m0js7wr/.
 
 
Please let us know if everything works fine for you.
