Tags

A dashboard component should consist of the following tags:

  • <title> - used to define a valid key defined in translation properties file to display the component's title.

    The supported version of Font Awesome is version 4.7.0.

  • <method> - used to define the method that will be invoked to retrieve the chart's data.

  • <type> - used to define the type of the chart. 

    Allowed values are BAR, DONUT, LINE, PIE, STACKED_BAR and SUMMARY.

  • <orientation> - used to define the orientation of the chart's data.

    Allowed values are VERTICAL and HORIZONTAL.

    Applicable only for chart types BAR and STACKED_BAR.

  • <xaxislabel> - used to define a valid key defined in translation properties file to display the X axis title.

    Applicable only for chart types BAR, LINE and STACKED_BAR.

  • <yaxislabel> - used to define a valid key defined in translation properties file to display the Y axis title.

    Applicable only for chart types BAR, LINE and STACKED_BAR.

  • <settings> - used to define the chart settings and should follow the structure below.

    <settings>
	<setting>

    Settings must have the same order as the ejb method parameters.

    Each setting tag should consist of:

    • <id> - used to define a unique id for the setting that will be used to construct dashboard component's xml.
    • <label> - used to define a valid key defined in translation properties file. Its translation through the glossary will be used as the setting label.

	</summarypageparameter> 
</summarypageparameters>

    Summary page parameters must have the same order as Settings order.

    Each summary page parameter tag should consist of:

    • <name> - used to define a valid summary criterion xpath of the specified summary page.
    • <classname> - used to define the class name of the data object that is mapping with the specified xpath.

</columns>

    Applicable only for chart type SUMMARY.

    Columns are mapping with the chart's data. For example, if the method that retrieves chart's data returns HashMap<CRMDOSubscriptionType, HashMap<CRMDOProduct, Integer>> then the columns should be associated with subscription type, product and number respectively. 

  • Each column tag should consist of:

    • <label> - used to define a valid key defined in translation properties file to display the summary column header label.
