Can we call another dashboard within the main dashboard?

[Former Member]

Hi Xcelsius Gurus,

Currently I have created 4 dashboards out of total 10 dashboards using "Dynamic Visibility" in one single SWF file. As each dashboard has more KPIs in it, it has performance issues. We have still 6 dashboards to go.

Hence to get better performance, I am planning to break this SWF into multiple SWFs. Each sub-dashboard will have "BACK" button. Hence I'll have one main dashboard, where on click it will open the respective dashboard and when clicked on BACK button the main dashboard will be visible.

Will this be possible? If yes, how to achieve the same?

Your early reply is much appreciated!

Regards,

Rashmi

Hi again Rashmi,

do you have BOE intsalled? If yes, then you can use the OpenDocument command for that:

[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/800f7400-bf3e-2b10-fa81-c6c74f457ab4|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/800f7400-bf3e-2b10-fa81-c6c74f457ab4]

If not, then I would recommend you to build the "main dashboard" as a html navigation, each dashboard can be loaded in other frame.

You can also try to use the URL Button Component, this will open a specified Link, including swf's files.

Hi Rashmi,

You can use Tabstrip in the containers to display dashboards.

I would suggest to use the SWF object in SP3. Create a dashboard that has a Radio button object with selections for each dashboard. Then for each dashboard you want to display add a SWF loader with dynamic visibility based on the radio buttons selected.

I'm not sure how performance will be but each dashboard should only be loaded based on visibility.

Maybe also add a 'Maximise' button on each dashboard calling itself in a new window.

Hope this helps...

Hi Justin,

Yes, this seems to be a good idea. However, could you please elaborate on how to get/create the URL for my SWF files?

I tried giving file name residing on my local PC, but it doesn't work. It only displays "100%" in the dashboard.

Am I missing anything?

Is there any step-by-step document for how to use SWF Loader?

Note: I am not using BOE.

Rashmi
