Understanding Contextual Fluid Dashboards

Contextual fluid dashboards allow application developers to design a fluid dashboard in which user-specified or fixed context values determine the content of the tiles displayed on the dashboard. To create a contextual fluid dashboard, an application developer must:

1. Create a dashboard header page and component definition.

2. Create a custom application class that implements the PTNUI:Banner:BannerTile base class.

3. Add PeopleCode to the header page and component.

4. Create one or more context-enabled tiles that can consume the context provided by the dashboard header component.

5. Create a fluid dashboard definition.
