Dashboard Architect is an integrated development environment (IDE) for Interactive Reporting Studio. It enables you to swiftly test, debug, and build Interactive Reporting Studio applications, freeing up development time and increasing productivity.
Dashboard Architect enables programmers to work on JavaScript alongside Interactive Reporting Studio in a fully interactive integrated manner. Dashboard Architect main functionality includes these concepts:
Create a project by importing an Interactive Reporting document that contains JavaScript
Edit the JavaScript in a project with these facilities:
Powerful search-and-replace
Individual and bulk formatting
Brace matching to create complete syntax
An object model browser to generate syntax
Undo and back-tracking
Use Dashboard Architect to change an Interactive Reporting document or synchronize the state of the Interactive Reporting document with the state of the project, where Interactive Reporting document changes are made outside Dashboard Architect
Test and debug code with breakpoints and stack traces to verify correct operations and fix faulty behavior
Create an Interactive Reporting document from the project and deploy it in production environments
Note:
Source code can be managed and version-controlled like other application sources as it is stored externally in text files.
