Hello,
We are looking for a way to handle errors in Pivot Tables such as no data, fetch errors, etc. We would need a callback such that we can customize our error handling. Is there a way to do that? We use both Custom Data Source and regular client use, so it would have to work either way.
Best,
Will Aguiraud

Hello, Will!
Thank you for writing to us.
Yes, you can customize error handling in Flexmonster to manage different fault scenarios with different data sources. There are three key aspects to consider for implementing custom error handling:
Using events to track errors
You can listen to specific Flexmonster events to detect when an error occurs and take appropriate action. These include the olapstructureerror and the queryerror events for fetching the data with custom API and dataerror event for loading remote CSV/JSON. You can find the list of all available events on this page: https://www.flexmonster.com/api/events/
Showing own alerts
You can display the alert pop-up with a custom error message using the alert API call.
Overriding default error messages
The existing error messages can be customized via localization, in the localization.messages object. We want to mention that localization can be specified fully via file or partially by overriding specific labels (see example).
Please let us know if you need further guidance on the implementation.
