webCOMAND Dashboard

The Dashboard is a webCOMAND user's "home base". It is the first thing displayed upon login and provides direct access to a list of Apps available to the user as well as their most commonly accessed content and features. The contents of the dashboard is based on the Header Quick Links.

Quick Link Views

Header Quick Links that represent a collection of content reveal a drop-down view of the collection when they are clicked. When the dashboard is displayed, all drop-down views are displayed at once and the Quick Links can be used to bring the corresponding drop-down view into view if it is out of view. The width and height of each view can be adjusted to show more or less content, and will be maintained long-term.

Title - The name that represents the quick link and appears below the icon in the header, and, if the Quick Link has contents, the title is displayed above the contents in the Dashboard.
Description - The optional description is displayed as a tooltip when the mouse hovers over the Quick Link in the header.
Icon - The image that will be displayed in the header to represent the quick link and appears before name in the Dashboard.
cPath - cPath to the object or collection this Quick Link represents.
- Objects - If the cPath resolves to an object, the Quick Link represents that single object, and when clicked will "open" the object.
- Collections - If the cPath resolves to a collection, the Quick Link represents a collection of objects, and when clicked will display those objects in a drop-down.
Condition - An optional cQL expression that will be used to determine the number or symbol that will appear to the upper left of the icon. The expression will be evaluated on the cPath object or collection. If it evaluates to TRUE for a cPath object, an exclamation point will be displayed to the upper left of the icon, to alert the user to a change to the object that has not been reviewed yet. If it evaluates to TRUE for one or more objects of a cPath collection, the number of objects that evaluated to TRUE will be displayed to the upper right of the icon to indicate how many objects in the collection are in the state of interest to the user.
Open With - A reference to an App that will be used to open the object or objects the cPath references. If no App is referenced, and the cPath resolves to an App object or collection of Apps, the App itself will be launched when clicked.
Position - The index of the Quick Link in the header from the left.

A user's Quick Links are stored in the Quick Links field of the User Settings object that is an attribute of the active User in webCOMAND.

Each Quick Link's cPath and Condition is re-evaluated periodically to update their visual status in the header, and each time the Dashboard or collection Quick Link is opened (or if the Logo is clicked from the Dashboard when no App is active).
