"Feed Test" dialog in Elementi 2015
The usual tabs that are shown within the "Feed Test" dialog are:
- Source (n bytes)
- If present, this tab displays the raw data as retrieved from the data source.
- Parser (n rows)
- This tab shows the results returned by the main parser, the resulted data being arranged in a table-like format, with columns and rows. The column names are used as data placeholders with the widget layout. For instance to display the content of the column called "title", use
[[title]]when editing the layout.

Notes:- In case an "Operation Failed" error is displayed instead of the actual data and the widget is included into a playlist, open only the widget from Browse panel and try again. If the error persists, try to increase the widget duration so that it will not loop too fast.
- For Elementi X users, the "Data Feed Properties" dialog offers advanced options for more complex data processing - depending on the additional parser and formatting options applied, more tabs could be displayed within the "Feed Test" dialog. For instance, when applying a "Date/Time" parser on a column named "date", a third tab is added - "Date/Time on 'date' (n rows)"; applying a sorting option, also generates an additional tab, "Sort".
