Dashboard is an ordered list of indicators and indicator drill pairs.

Indicators on dashboard offer various ways of formatting. It's possible to group them, change their size or font, or display one of its indicator drill blocks directly on dashboard. They can also be collapsed or expanded (using right mouse click).

Dashboards are referenced in views. Each view references exactly one dashboard.

Info

See various setups of a dashboard in action in the Features Catalog for Developers project.

Syntax

This is the syntax of the dashboard located in the Customer Intelligence view of the Retail Solution Demo project.

It's the simplest way to display an array of indicators. Each of them has one row and is primary. For more customized dashboards, see the syntax examples and visual representation below.

It is possible to split two indicators in half and display them in one row. This is a good way to squeeze more indicators on one dashboard.

To do that, we have to put them to the blockRow object. We have modified the dashboard from the main syntax example so that its first and second indicator are in a blockRow object, as well as the third and fourth indicator. Please note that a maximum of 2 indicators can be displayed in one row.

You can also notice that some of the indicators have secondary layout. Using this layout, the indicator tile and the font become smaller, allowing you to display yet more indicators on one dashboard. The two indicators in a blockRow should have identical layout, otherwise one tile will be larger than the other and the row will look weird.

It is possible to group a number of indicators in an indicatorGroups array. This is a good way to display high number of indicators in a compact way.

This example shows the indicators from the first four views of the Retail Solution Demo grouped into one view's dashboard with indicatorGroups.

It is possible to display the categories block (from indicator drill) directly on a dashboard. In that case, a block with corresponding indicator must be specified. For the block description, see content.blocks.categories.

It is also possible to define (but not display) the dataset.properties.featureAttributes on a dashboard. This way, attributes can be defined per view, in case you want to see the properties of a dataset in one view, but not the other. When defined in dataset, the attributes are active per the whole project.

Dashboard with indicator drill blocks

To display an indicator drill block directly on a dashboard, you can set its onDashboard property to true. It is possible to display all four blocks: distribution, ranking, timeSeries and categories.

Each block on a dashboard can be collapsed / expanded, by using the right click and selecting "Collapse this indicator" / "Expand this indicator".
