Blocks

A block renders a tile's result. The block type selects the renderer; config configures it. Available types: plotly, plotly_resampler, table, markdown, image, raw_html, input_select, input_range.

plotly

Renders a Plotly figure. Bind dataframe columns into the figure spec with the @column convention — StrataBI replaces "@col" with that column's values:

json

{
  "type": "plotly",
  "config": {
    "figure": {
      "data": [{ "type": "scatter", "x": "@month", "y": "@revenue" }],
      "layout": { "margin": { "t": 10 } }
    },
    "height": "360px"
  }
}

config also accepts template (a Plotly template name or ?source), style, and graph_config. plotly_resampler takes the same config and is intended for large series.

table

An AG Grid table. Runtime results are expected to be dataframes (parquet or csv).

json

{ "type": "table", "config": { "page_size": 25, "height": "480px" } }

config accepts column_defs, default_col_def, dash_grid_options, className, and style. If column_defs is omitted, columns are inferred from the dataframe.

markdown / image / raw_html

json

{ "type": "markdown", "config": { "content": "# Title\n\nBody text." } }
{ "type": "image",    "config": { "src": "s3://.../chart.png", "width": "100%" } }
{ "type": "raw_html", "config": { "html": "<b>Trusted</b>", "height": "500px" } }

These accept literal content or a ?source value, and runtime-generated artifacts (md, png/jpg/webp/svg, html) can also populate them.

Caution

raw_html renders arbitrary HTML in an iframe and is an injection surface. Only use it with content you control. When RBAC is enabled, a raw_html block renders only from a governed source; otherwise it needs the Raw HTML role permission and users without it see a "Restricted" placeholder. The only governed source is a module (a lambda exec tile); a pinned (admin-curated) dashboard is the admin escape hatch. Everything else is rejected — including HTML loaded from the S3 cache (cache exec): storage location is not governance, so cached HTML is treated as untrusted. To show such HTML, render it through a governed module, pin the dashboard, or hold the Raw HTML permission. See Roles & access control.

input_select / input_range

Input blocks write a value to the dashboard input store under input_id, which downstream tiles consume. See Inputs & parameters.

json

{
  "type": "input_select",
  "config": {
    "input_id": "region",
    "component": "dropdown",
    "options": [{ "label": "North", "value": "north" }],
    "value": "north"
  }
}

input_select supports dropdown, radio, and checklist components, and options may be inline, ?source-resolved, or returned by a JSON execution result. input_range takes min, max, step, and a single value (slider) or two-value array (range slider).
