Dashboard

When I use the Deploy Dashboard and then test the dashboard, everything works excellent. But when I put it out there, it doesn’t work. So I went back in and noticed that when I just try generating info from the dashboard without being in test mode, I still get no info. But in test mode, works great. Any ideas?

Try clearing your client cache?

For more info, I took n existing Dashboard and added a few fields. Then added a tracker for date. That is what is throwing it off. When I remove that tracker it works, but with it, it only works in test mode.

What are you doing in the tracker? Is it for inputs only? If so make sure it’s set to input prompt only. Are you sure you’re prompting for the right field?

I am attempting to add in a date range. So I added a tacker and selected the date I want to use. Although, it only gives me a start date but not an end date. So, I may be missing something. But still find it curious that it works on the test mode but not in any other way.

Ok, I just double checked, the date isn’t filtering anything. Sigh…What am I missing? I added the tracker, selected the Invoice date, then put it as greater than or equal to, and then I get one date box to input a date. That’s where I am at so far.

Rigt click on tracker view and go to Properties. Make sure Input Prompts Only is checked.

Hit ok and right click on the tracker view again. This time select Customize Tracker View. You should now see a new window. In that window go to Tools>Toolbox. You’ll see a new window, it contains all of the controls you can add to a tracker. A little more than halfway down that list you should see EpiDateTimeEditor. Click on that, then click on the tracker view. You should now see a new date box in your tracker view.

Click on your new date picker thing. It should open the properties in the customization window, scroll to the bottom of those properties. Set IsTrackerQueryControl to True and QueryColumn to the field you need to filter on.

Scroll to the top and the little section that says Dashboard set DashboardPrompt to True and DashboardCondition to LessThanOrEqualTo.

Now move your new control to a good spot and make it look nice for the users. Hit save on the customization window and close it. Go to Tools>Deploy Dashboard and hit the Test Application button at the top left of that little window. Hopefully this works for you.

Just couldn’t get it to work. SO I put the parameters into the BAQ and that fixed it. But I really gotta figure out what is going on. Cause I followed the directions exactly and it worked in the Test, but not when I saved it and deployed it.

Are you customizing it? If you aren’t you can just run it as a runtime, then you don’t have to deploy it.
