Adding dashboard to screen programatically

Add-ons
#1

Hi

I’ve successfully added the dashboard addon to our application and also created a number of dashboards. I’ve also managed to add a default dash to the ext-mainWindow screen using XML code:

<dashboard:dashboard id=“dashboardId”
code=“FinDash02”
timerDelay=“10”>
<dashboard:parameter name=“role”
type=“string”
value=“Admin”/>
</dashboard:dashboard>

Unfortunately having this hard coded causes login problems if the dashboard no longer exists (ie user has deleted or is on a completely new instance with no dashboards setup. I have not been able to find a suggested workaround for this but think it could be resolved by programmatically adding the dashboard to the ext-mainWindow by looking in the appropriate dashboard data tables to see if and what exists for the logged in user.

Is there a way to add the dashboard component to the screen programmatically? I have tried adding the dashboard using the usual componentsfactory.createcomponent but this has not been successful.

Any help would be appreciated as it is a great addon and really want to be able to use it. Obviously if there is a better way to achieve this than I’ve suggested then please feel free to suggest.

Thanks
David

Hi,

Please try to use following code to select correct dashboard in your main window:

public class ReferenceDashboardController extends AppMainWindow {

    @Inject
    protected DashboardFrame dashboard;

    @Override
    public void init(Map<String, Object> params) {
        super.init(params);
        dashboard.setCode("demo-dashboard");
    }
}

Hi
If the application has more than one dashboard, which one will be displayed? Is there any way to set a default dashboard of the user?

Hi,

You will need to write code in main screen controller which will set correct dashboard code depends on your requirements
