EvoHTML – Add custom CSS, HTML and JS to SAC Stories

Features

EvoHTML is an SAC custom widget that can be used to embed custom HTML, CSS and JavaScript in analytic applications and stories. This allows you to change styling for elements of your story which would not be supported otherwise, or efficiently generate content with custom formatting.

Inserting custom CSS into your story

With our widget you can include CSS in your story – without the constraints you face in the SAC-included CSS editor. Any CSS can be included, that means you can style any element or class of the application (even buttons in popup dialogs etc.) and you can control every CSS property (like rounded borders, transparency, etc.) and you can add pseudo-elements using CSS.

We support the inclusion of a global CSS that will be added to the page at top level and can be used to control all content on the page, and a local CSS which will only apply to the HTML rendered by the widget.

For some examples on the possibilities, see our blog post.

Inserting custom HTML into your story

You can write your own HTML snippet directly within your story and insert it. This works both with static content – for example a richt text box containing an explanation of the KPIs you see in the dashboard – and for dynamic content which you can compile via scripting to include data you read from your data sources: for example a KPI tile with current year and previous year values, and percentage deviation.

Inserting JavaScript into your story

You can also inject JavaScript code into your story or application. For example use a time to refresh a dashboard every minute, or show the current time in the corner of the dashboard.

Try it yourself

You can download a trial version of EvoHTML below. You can install the widget in your SAC tenant and integrate it in your stories and analytical apps. The trial version is fully functional, but contains a trial notice at the bottom of the application when run, and is not licensed for productive use.

By downloading, you accept the license terms detailed below, and confirm that you are aware of security aspects of installing a widget that allows story designers to inject custom HTML, CSS and JavaScript into you applications.

To install the custom widget, unzip the downloaded file and upload the manifest and content in SAC. For detailed instructions see: How to install sac widgets.

      2. produce and reproduce, but not Share, Adapted Material for NonCommercial purposes only.

Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights, but not otherwise.
    2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public License.
    3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly reserves any right to collect such royalties, including when the Licensed Material is used other than for NonCommercial purposes.

For example, it may be reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or hyperlink to a resource that includes the required information.
    3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent reasonably practicable.

Section 4 – Sui Generis Database Rights.

Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to Your use of the Licensed Material:

  1. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database for NonCommercial purposes only and provided You do not Share Adapted Material;
  2. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material; and
  3. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section supplements and does not replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.

Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the extent possible, the Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and as-available, and makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the Licensed Material, whether express, implied, statutory, or other. This includes, without limitation, warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or the presence or absence of errors, whether or not known or discoverable. Where disclaimers of warranties are not allowed in full or in part, this disclaimer may not apply to You.

To the extent possible, in no event will the Licensor be liable to You on any legal theory (including, without limitation, negligence) or otherwise for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, or other losses, costs, expenses, or damages arising out of this Public License or use of the Licensed Material, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such losses, costs, expenses, or damages. Where a limitation of liability is not allowed in full or in part, this limitation may not apply to You.
  3. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.

    2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.

    For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this Public License.

  3. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this Public License.
