Good day,

My name is Jeroen Mulder and I'm new on the BC forum. To be honest, it's my first time ever on a forum, so please be gentle ;-)

Since six weeks I work for a company which has BC.

Unfortunately (or not) this company is not using many of the powerfull options of BC.

I want to expand the options but I am facing some obstacles.

For a starter I would like to create customized tiles on the dashboard.

For instance I want to see purchase orders which are meeting the following requirements;

* The PO has to be made by me personally (users ID)

* The PO must have an expired promised delivery date (<h)

* The PO must have undelivered orderlines (completely received)

(Freely translated from Dutch. Sorry)

I am able to get this using filters in the purchase order section but I prefer to see this in a tile on the dashboard.

Does anybody know how to get this done?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, as far as I know this requires customization.

For example, the tiles below are actually Flowfield. This is defined in code and cannot be modified by the user. So if you want to add a new tile, you can refer to the standard code below.

table 9053 "Sales Cue":

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Hi Jeroen Mulder,

Welcome to the community! It's not difficult to add tiles to your dashboard. You can achieve this by simply creating an extension for the Role Center dashboard you want to customize. For instance, if you'd like to add tiles to the Business Manager Role Center, you'll need to create a page extension for that specific Role Center. To create the tiles, you should develop a CardPart page and then include that page in your Role Center Dashboard.
To update the tile values displayed on the dashboard, you can write the necessary code in the 'onAfterGetCurrentRecord' trigger.

Here's an example.. I've also created some sample tiles.

I'm providing you with some sample code since you mentioned it's your first time working on this.

page 50210 CueDistributionFinalize { PageType = CardPart; RefreshOnActivate = true; Caption = 'Job Queue Distribution Run Process'; layout { area(Content) { cuegroup(GenerateDistribution) { Caption = 'Generate Distribution'; field(GenDistributionRunCount; GenDistributionRunCount) { Caption = 'Distribution Records'; ApplicationArea = All; } } cuegroup(FinalizeDistribution) { Caption = 'Generate Purch. Orders'; field(FinDistributionRunCount; FinDistributionRunCount) { Caption = 'Distribution Records'; ApplicationArea = All; } } cuegroup(GenerateInvoice) { Caption = 'Generate Invoice'; field(GenerateInvoiceRunCount; GenerateInvoiceRunCount) { Caption = 'Distribution Records'; ApplicationArea = All; } } } } trigger OnAfterGetCurrRecord() begin GenDistributionRunCount := GenDistributionJobTable.Count; FinDistributionRunCount := FinalizeDistribJobTable.Count; GenerateInvoiceRunCount := GenerateInvoiceJobTable.Count; end; var GenDistributionRunCount, FinDistributionRunCount, GenerateInvoiceRunCount : Integer; }

Afterward, add the created page to your Role Center dashboard, specifically in the layout section under 'rolecenter' among the other page parts.

part(CueDistributionFinalize; CueDistributionFinalize) { ApplicationArea = All; }

I hope this guidance helps. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Best Regards,
Govinda Kumar
