User Dashboard
When admin selects “Enable Config” option on template, end user can configure his view based on the default view shown to him at runtime. When admin selects “Enable Sharing” option, end user can share his customized view with other users in the in the organization.
End users can create their own views based on the admin defined wizards and dashboards. For each ItemType, end users can create any number of views for the wizard and the dashboard. These views are shown along with the default views defined by the admin. To create the view upon clicking Config action, end user will be shown with the designer using which he can configure or hide existing controls from the layout. He can also add new widgets from widget libraries to the layout.
Upon selecting Config action from the dropdown, designer will be shown the current template, where end user can customize the view using designer capabilities. Using Display Condition option, end user can hide or show the control on the page. For collection controls like Table and Worksheet, by selection Settings icon, columns can be reordered or hidden from the view.
When admin creates any Widgets in the libraries, user can choose those widgets and place them on the page. Widgets are the predefined UI components, created from the existing collection controls of the template by the admin. Once defined can be used across many templates. Widgets are organized in libraries that are defined by admin. Admin can give access to the libraries based on user’s roles. While creating wizard or dashboard template for a specific ItemType, admin can select a collection control and add it to the library.
Adding a widget from library to the template can be done using Widget control from the toolbox. Widget can be added to template by-copy or by-reference by selecting appropriate option from ‘Widget Settings’ flyout. Adding widget by-copy, will copy the definition of the Widget to the template. Any subsequent updates done on the widget in the library will not reflect in the template if the widget is added by copy. By adding widget by-reference, will always show the latest widget based on its updates in the library.
After making the changes, when user clicks on the Save action, flyout will be shown to enter name for the customized view. A new template view will be created with the given view name for the current user.
End users can create custom views for Global and Type dashboards similar to the Wizard.
