Webdash Builder Component

Use the Webdash Builder component to build dashboardsRF in environments (such as pure HTML, Web plug-ins, or desktop applications) that process Interactive Reporting documents.

The build tool is a Dashboard Studio configuration frame, called Build Dashboard, that uses the placement features of the object model. These features enable you to create, place, and size dashboard objects without going into Design mode.

The component eliminates the need for the Dashboard Studio wizard in most cases. The eight steps have become one configuration frame. However, the wizard is required to combine documents and templates (using the Dashboard Studio Merge Utility), create and customize templates, configure styles, and build more sophisticated, user-configured dashboards.

You use the dashboard sections and prototypes provided by the component to support runtime mode for dashboard building and to position and size embedded objects.

*  To incorporate Webdash Builder component into customized dashboard templates:

  1. Update the template using the Dashboard Development Services Update Utility.

  2. Add shapes such as Panel_Background_1, Panel_Background_2, and Panel_Background_3 to frame prototypes that the facility will use.

  3. Import data models into the template, and then import the template into EPM Workspace.

Webdash is available in multiple formats and can be used in multiple ways. See “Using the Webdash Template to Build Dashboards ” in the Hyperion Interactive Reporting – Object Model and Dashboard Development Services Developer's Guide, Volume 5: Dashboard Studio.
