Frequently asked questions

This topic provides frequently asked questions and answers about dashboards, the feature which enables you to change and edit a limited set of your graphics without using PxEditor.

Q: How do I create a dashboard?

A: Create a Px page. For each widget that you want to dashboard, add a DashboardPane from the dashboard palette to contain it.

Does each Widget on a Px page require a DashboardPane?

A: No. Only the parts of the Px page that are intended to be “dashboardable” (dynamically modified by the user) require a parent DashboardPane. All other widgets can be added to the Px page as normal.

Q: Which WebWidgets can be used on a Dashboard?

A: Dashboard supports only the HTML5 bajaux WebWidgets: CircularGauge and Chart, but custom WebWidgets may be built to take advantage of dashboard features.

Q: If I log in as the same user in a different browser, will I get the same Dashboard?

A: Yes you will. The information held on Dashboards is held for a specific user. If you log on as the same user, you'll get the same Dashboard data regardless of what browser you use (Chrome, Workbench, or otherwise).
