Enhancements to the dashboard in the Task Focused UI

The new OpenPages® dashboard provides users and administrators with the ability to build a landing page that is relevant to them based on their responsibilities and duties.

  • Administrators can define dashboard content by profile.
  • Users can further personalize their dashboard and adapt it to the things that matter to them.
  • For upgrades, existing user panels are automatically uploaded.

New types of panels can be added to the dashboard:

  • Workflow-driven panels provide a quick abstract of tasks, links to the most urgent tasks, and links to more detailed views.
    • The My Tasks tab shows the tasks that are assigned to the logged-in user.
    • The Subscription Tasks tab shows the tasks that the user is subscribed to.
    • The Oversight Tasks tab shows the tasks for which the user has oversight responsibility.
  • The Favorites panel contains links to activities that were marked as favorites by the user.
  • Charts that present a set of filter activities or objects that are grouped by a specified criteria.
  • Quick access to Creation Views for specified objects.
  • Reports panels. The list of reports is defined in the profile.
  • Custom panels can contain one or more widgets:
    • A Filter Count widget displays a count for a specific activity.
    • A Guidance widget displays a text explanation that is specific to your organization and written by an administrator.
    • A Static Link widget provides quick access to a specific URL.
    • A Chart widget displays a chart but in a smaller layout than the Chart panels.

The following example shows the new dashboard with various types of charts.
