Seeding Data from Applications

Applications can provide a standard configuration for Retail Home dashboards through platform services. When imported, Retail Home will automatically create any specified dashboards or additional application entries specified in the data.

There are two ways to tell Retail Home to load this data. When a new application is created or a seeded entry updated with platform services enabled, Retail Home will automatically attempt to load seed data. Additionally, the data for an application can be manually updated by pressing the refresh seed data button in the toolbar.

If an application does not provide seed data or has not deployed a supported version of the platform services, no update will occur and the failure will be logged silently. In the case of a manual refresh, an error will be displayed to the user.

For full details on the behavior of importing seed data, refer to Seeding Application Dashboards.
