Dashboards

note

If dashboards aren't visible, they might need to be enabled by an administrator user. See the admin guide for more details

The Dashboards option allows a user to create dashboards using a catalog of dashboard components. Flowable Work ships with a set of out-of-the-box components, but custom ones can easily be created using customized query models and dashboard component models.

note

Dashboards are user-bound.

The dashboard UI has two high-level UI parts: the Header with filters and the Component Canvas:

Dashboards Example

After creating a new dashboard, click the Edit dashboard button. Three buttons appear in the header, while the canvas goes into edit-mode:

Dashboards Example

The Delete dashboard button allows to delete this particular dashboard and the Save dashboard button will save all current changes and switch back to the view-mode.

The Add component button will show the Component catalog which displays all out-of-the-box components and all custom ones published to this system:

Dashboards Example

After chosing a component, a custom title and component-specific settings can be configured.

note

When multiple dashboard components reuse the same filter (for example the process definition picker), only one entry is rendered in the header. When the filter is changed, all components that use it will re-fetch the data and re-render.
