Consolidated List of Dashboard Enhancements

[Patricio Carranza]

hi All,

IMHO Dashboard is a functionality with huge potential, but while it makes sense to keep it simple I think it still lacks some capabilities that could make it hyper helpful. 

how about consolidating our enhancement requests here so the team can review and potentially prioritize for implementation?

let's start:

• Ability to apply and edit filters as you can do in the main window: include both basic and advance filters.
  
• Enable contextual menu on right click on a task, it seems practically all the options available in that contextual menu could remain valid in the dashboard view
• Ability to configure what view is opened in the main window on double-clicking a task in a dashboard (right now it seems it goes to the defaul view, and you can't change that behavior)

what else?

Big one for me - better handling of moving tasks between panes in a dashboard.

I have a dashboard for handling projects with a pane and view for each project status:

- isproject AND projectstatus == in progress

- isproject AND projectstatus == suspended

- isproject AND projectstatus == completed

I would expect moving a project from one to the other would modify the projectstatus field. The two views could be diff'd and the resulting diff applied to the moving task. However this doesn't work which makes the view much less powerful.

(Also, when will the community and dev feedback move off google groups. Almost not worth posting, no idea who or if anyone looks at this stuff. So odd there's no git like project.)

I have just started using Dashboard and I am finding very useful.    I would agree that having a mechanism for updating a task when you move it from one dashboard panel to another would be very useful.    However, I think this may be possible now but have yet to try it.

 

In your scenario,  group each of your dashboard panel views by projectstatus.   In each case, there will just one group heading in the view (for the projectstatus being filtered on).    I believe that when you drag a task from one group to another in a grouped view,   MLO will update the data item that you are grouping on to the value of the heading that you have moved the task to.

 

Would be interested to know whether this works or not.     Although I think it would be good if there was a better way of achieving this (eg in Dashboard edit mode having the ability to specify a formula for each panel that a) acts as a filter and b) specifies the values that will be assigned to any task that is dragged to that panel.
