This section guides you through creating a basic home screen dashboard. It is more advanced than the InsightView dashboard example as it includes creating your own widgets and linking them so that a selection in one widget updates the data in another widget.
There are three main steps to create a home screen dashboard. These are very similar to the steps for creating an InsightView dashboard:
-
Create a Web API, if required.
As with the dashboards example, instead of creating a new Web API, we will use the Web API provided for connecting to our local SDx system. For more details on this Web API, see Create a Web API to connect to your local SDx system.
-
Create the home screen dashboard and make it available to selected users. For our example, we want to make it available to document controllers.
-
Configure the home screen widgets. The widgets you will configure are:
-
A To Do List widget showing a summary of your To Do List.
-
A widget showing all tags in the system.
-
A widget showing any ongoing change requests related to a selected tag.
-
A widget showing the details of a selected tag.
-
A widget to show the asset details for a selected tag
-
Once you have created your home screen you can view it as described in View your home screen.
