dashboard : customizable dashboard

The lino.modlib.dashboard plugin adds functionality for letting the users customize their dashboard.

Usage

As long as a user didn’t populate their dashboard, the list is empty and they will get all the available dashboard items provided by the application.

>>> from lino_book.projects.tera1.startup import *

Dashboard preferences (empty)

Click the ⚡ button in order to populate the table.

Dashboard preferences (populated)

Now you can hide/show individual items and change their order.

Hide a dashboard item for an application

In tera1 we simulate the situation that user robin has populated his dashboard. The following snippet also shows that accounting.JournalsOverview is not visible. This is because Lino Tera has customized the Site.is_visible_in_dashboard method.

>>> rt.show(dashboard.Widgets)
