You can use this page to find the MDriven documentation for building dashboard views and configuring seekers, whether you are presenting graph data or helping users search for records.
Dashboards
A dashboard presents summarized application information in a ViewModel. For example, a dashboard can expose the values needed by a chart, such as a performance series or a distribution shown as a pie chart.
To add Google Charts to a Turnkey application, use Documentation:Using Google Charts. The chart data must be available in the ViewModel. You can set the Angular_Ext_Component tagged value on the ViewModel columns that generate graphs, then create the corresponding components in the model assets folder.
For an example, a dashboard ViewModel can provide the data for PerformanceChart and PieChart components. Columns that supply chart data can remain in the ViewModel even when their Visible expression is false.
Seekers
A seeker is a search user interface that finds database records from criteria supplied by the user. Use a seeker when a dashboard or another view must let the user locate a record rather than display a fixed set of results.
Documentation:WECPOF Goodies describes a multi-variable seeker example where the value typed into a grid action is used as the search expression. When the search returns exactly one result, the seeker can close and assign that result; when it returns zero or many results, it stays open so the user can change the criteria.
Page seeker results
Use Documentation:Search result pages when a seeker can return more records than you want to fetch at once. The MaxFetch tagged value controls the maximum number of records returned; its default is 20 when MaxFetch is not used.
To enable paging, configure the known seeker variables described on that page.
