New dashboard layout

[GisFed Employee]

The existing dashboards(vertical, horizontal, accordion, portal, desktop, and tabbed)  do not meet my requirements. I want to add an additional dashboard type.  Could someone point me to the relevant dashboard files(js,html,css) in owf?  Is there a easy way of doing this?

What you’ve actually described are pane types in OWF, which you can use to comprise a full dashboard.  OR you’re using an older version of OWF, which didn’t support the Dashboard Builder, and may want to take a look at OWF7.

 

The good news is: adding a new type of pane layout’s been done.   The bad news is that there’s not a described set of procedures. 

 

Believed starting steps, and happy to hear how far these get you…

·         The existing pane types are in components/pane – see the Pane.js for the “base”, and then AccordionPane, etc. 

·         To then have the pane type show up in the Dashboard Designer, see components/dashboarddesigner/LayoutType.js

 

If you’ve not previously built OWF, you’ll want to consult the Build instructions for OWF on the wiki: https://github.com/ozoneplatform/owf/wiki/Build-Instructions-Home... 

 

If you’re extending OWF, check into whether you should get an Ext JS license.   The OWF program can’t grant you an Ext JS license – like other commercial companies that provide an open-source option, the OWF program is using it based on their licensing situation.  Yours may vary.
