This could be the same list as the above (in this case it would define defaults or could be used to change settings at the Admin level at some point). Or they could include additional settings. Some parameters could be managed at admin level only. In this case they would appear as read only in ''User settings (User level)''.

Similarly to [[#Company level settings]] these settings regulate defaults on a highest (system) level. Also there could be some other global settings associated with specific panel/widget/DR.

[edit] Info

[edit] Business Requirements

  • Need special page with various panels such as Weather, News, etc
  • Need separate area on Dashboard for Dashboard Reports (DRs)
  • above should be available on both Client and Internal Apps
  • need flexible admin to manage above on the system, manager, user levels
  • persistence (system must remember last state of dashboard for individual user to reproduce at the next login)

[edit] Glossary

Dashboard - it is a space between Header/Main Menu and Footer on a CT2 Home Page. It contains various Panels ("Widgets") with valuable information such as "Weather", "RSS News feeds" or "Truck Dom Stats Dashboard Report".

One important type of Dashboard widget is Dashboard Report (DR). Sometime we call them KPI. For more info see DR framework wiki.

Fig below explains layout.

[edit] Solution version 1

This is a current version !

Since we have 2 apps currently (Client and Internal) implementation for each slightly differs.

Example:

[edit] Summary

[edit] Dashboard hierarchy

Widgets in CT2 can be divided on following groups:

  • Informers. Actual information from external sources. Examples: RSS News Feed, World Financial Markets etc.
  • Dashboard Reports. Summarized information calculated from CT2 DB. Examples: Truck Dom Stats, Scheduled reports, Estimated GM etc.
[edit] Configuration
  • Each CT2 user should have ability to:
    • Add any number of additional tabs onto Dashboard and name them arbitrary.
    • Assign any available panel to any specific dashboard tab.
      • One report can be assigned to one tab only (need to clarify!).

It is suggested to use scrollable tabs to group and display dashboard panels.

  • tabs should be named by user (default: one tab named "Main")
  • users should be able to assign panels to specific dashboard tabs (default: all panels on "Main" tab)

[edit] Additionals

[edit] Log

Actions on System level and Admin level should be recorded in System Log.

[edit] Exceptions

It is possible that it would be hard to fully consolidate all settings for specific widget or DR in one place. For example for Action Required DRs (see DR for 9 existing Action Required internal reports) certain parameters are defined at the Reports Scheduler level. (In this case, please display in read only format these settings for user).

[edit] Persistence

System must remember last state (location, state [open/closed], settings) of Dashboard for individual user to reproduce it at the next login.

[edit] Client Visibility Rules
  • Client Visibility Rules affect displaying of DR results in Client Application.
