How does Dashboard Module work?

[Paul Leverett]

I have installed Dashboard module (v 3.0.0) but cannot see what it does or how to use it. I cannot find any documentation on this module.

All I get is a Reload icon; I cannot create a new record in Dashboard.

What must I do to make this work? And what will it do for me?

Thanks,

Paul

Where did you get it from and who is the author ?

Have a look at the user preferences. There you have to define actions, that
shall be shown on the dashboard.

The dashboard is readonly for the models it shows.

And there is a small catch to it since 3.0: To have actions actually
showing up in the selection field under user preferences, you have to
first mark them. To do so go to administration/user
interface/actions/actions and write the string "dashboard" in the usage
field for those actions you're interested in.

Thank you all for the tips, I can now configure the dashboard - I would not have been able to guess what was needed without this help!

So timeto submit a patch for the documentation.

+1 It will help all of us if you can find the time to summarize what you've learned. I'm still working basic material workflows, but will want to explore dashboards soon and I doubt I'm alone...

I forgot to ask where specifically should this type of documentation exist, and how *exactly* does one submit a documentation patch, and would documentation like this be best put on http://doc.tryton.org, https://code.google.com/p/tryton/wiki, http://tryton-documentation.readthedocs.org, or somewhere else entirely (e.g. personal blogs)?

I'm especially interested in understanding where *should* end-user module documentation be maintained, and the dashboard module is an example (although it seems to involve both a site administrator to configure modules so they are available for use in dashboards, and the end-user who configures their own dashboard). After figuring out how to *use* Tryton for my own purposes, I'd like to contribute HowTos or Tutorials, but need direction for how to best benefit the community.

Happy to have this in http://tryton-documentation.readthedocs.org

The first section is the user guide where we explain basic concepts of Tryton. Perhaps, modules could also be documented there.

You can send a pull request on https://github.com/tryton/tryton-documentation and we will help you put it together.

That being said, the ideal place to have such documentation is the module itself, which would then appear on doc.tryton.org

Hi,

The sources of http://doc.tryton.org are the "doc" directories of
trytond, trytond and modules repositories hosted at
http://hg.tryton.org. This is the most official documentation. In order
to improve this one, the workflow (a review is included) explained here
[1] must be followed. In my opinion this one is developer oriented.

The content of https://code.google.com/p/tryton/wiki should be removed
and integrated to the official documentation. The modifications of the
wiki aren't reviewed: informations are useful but authors didn't take
the time to follow the workflow of doc.tryton.org. [2 (french)]

As Sharoon stated, source of http://tryton-documentation.readthedocs.org
is https://github.com/tryton/tryton-documentation. In order to improve
this one, follow the github workflow and create a pull request.
This doc is splitted in 4 parts:
- http://tryton-administration-manual.readthedocs.org/ is end-user oriented
- http://tryton-documentation.readthedocs.org/ is developer oriented.
- a demo module
- tryton client doc (same as http://doc.tryton.org/3.2/tryton/doc/)

I don't know why tryton-documentation isn't merged with doc.tryton.org,
it seems this was discussed at the TUB2013 [3].

A brief description of the module (like [4]) could be added to
doc.tryton.org and an end-user documentation could be added to
tryton-administration-manual.

I don't know if someone ever updated the documentation, but I made some screenshots for it:

0. Install the dashboard module

1. Go to Administration > User interface > Actions > Actions

2. Choose whatever you want to show up in the dashboard (Invoices, in this case)
3. In the Usage field, write "dashboard" (without quotes)

4. Go to User > Preferences in the top menu

5. In the user preferences, go to the Dashboard tab and create a new record

6. Choose the the Action which you activated previously (steps 2 and 3; Invoices for the present example).

7. You can choose to show the Dashboard when the Tryton client starts if you add it to the default actions:

8. You are done. Next time, you will have the view on your dashboard on the screen.

Then just only add the dashobard action under the actions field on the
user preferences.

Yes, please. An issue improving the documentation will be very welcome.
