Hello,
Please is there a way to navigate back to the dashboard screen displayed on startup? I realize I am not able to display the dashboard screen every time I navigate away from the dashboard menu. What I have been doing is logging out and logging in again. I believe this is not logical.
I am using the IC Payments sample checking out the dashboard addon.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
Sorry, it’s not clear what is your problem. Could you please provide exact steps to reproduce your issue and explain the behavior that you actually get and behavior you expect to see.
If your explanation requires some sample project, please attach it as well.
What happens if you close all the tabs?
Hi Maxim,
Thanks for your reply.
Let me explain again.
I have added a dashboard addon to my project. I have implemented some widgets to be displayed first every time the user logs in. See below image of the dashboard widgets displayed first when I log in.
Now, let’s say I want to display catalogue menu item, when I click on it, it shows the catalogue page. This means clicking on the catalogue menu item has navigated me away from the dashboard widgets.
Let’s say I want to go back to the dashboard widgets again, I am not able to do this anymore. There is dashboard menu item (generated by the addon) but it is purely for administration purpose. I want a situation to have another menu item that I can click on to display the dashboard shown when I log in initially. I have tried to create a menu item for this but I don’t know what screen is responsible for displaying dashboard widgets.
I hope I am able to explain better now.
Thanks
Hi Rimantas,
Thanks for replying.
I have added more explanation to the question below.
If I close all the tabs, of course, all the pages will be closed. Let’s say I want to access the dashboard widgets again, I am not able to do so. I want a situation to be able to re-display or call up the dashboard widgets without going to the dashboard administration menu to do so.
I tried to create a separate menu item so that I can call up the widgets but I don’t know what screen is responsible for displaying the dashboard widgets.
Hope this is clearer now.
Thanks
As per my knowledge the dashboard is created on the main application screen and all other screens are opened over this space on the tabsheet. So logicaly to be able to display the dashboard you have to close all the screens/tabs or hide the tabsheet (if this is possible). Alternatively you could manually create your own ‘dashboard’ screen containing the widgets. In that case you could work with it as with normal screen and you could set it to be opened automatically after the login. Just an idea.
Hi,
I got what I wanted by creating a menu item and display the dashboard widget by calling a bean which in turn opens the DashboardViewScreen class.
Thanks for your assistance.
