Using the DashboardYour last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Is the dashboard a usable control in 7.0.1? I am trying find out more about dashboards to customize the opportunity detail screen. Basically I want to add a tab that shows a graph of the opportunity history (we have a custom table that is storing this information) Basically show a trendline chart of the opportunity.

Is there any dashboard documentation?

Thanks,
John G.

First of all. the dashboard is not a control... it's a MainView.

There is a graph control that is used by the dashboard.

The only documentation is in the code and the helpfiles.. no white paper.. no nothing. Same goes for the graph control.

A MainView. That makes sense. So in theory I should be able to create a new dashboard MainView and add graph controls to it based on custom tables?

Thanks,

However, don't use the existing SalesLogix implementation (dashboard) as an example for your "design" It' s way to complicated and a MAJOR performance hog!

I'm going to try creating a new MainView then adding a chart control and take it from there. I'll just reference the SLX version if I feel the need.

Thanks,
