Given the limits of the current charting solution (no selection of (the rather dull) colors), few types of charts etc, I have a request to be able to import charts made externally (with Excel or other tools) for display in the dashboard.
2.23 can already display youtube videos, so would it be easy to also display Resources of type image? Or do we have to make a wrapper app (for each such image)?
It should be very easy, create a small app that display a image (maybe you want with/height 100%), and set appType=RESOURCE, then you can add it to the dashboard (don’t need any fancy build process for that one)

Thanks Morten, will do that for now - but don’t you agree it would be nice NOT to have to create an app for every image you want to include? Would be nice if this could be supported out of the box (perhaps through automatic wrapping in exactly such an app?). Blueprint?

Well, you can add the same widget multiple times, and then on initial load just show a simple selection box. If you want to make it more fancy, you could attach the possible images to a system settings using base64’d data urls.
If it’s worth a blueprint or not, I don’t know. You can always create it you still would have to deal with image upload somehow, either on the disk using filestore, or base64.

Hi Knut,
when you say limited chart types - which chart types do you need? Can you
post a mockup of a chart / type you would like to see?

On the behalf of Lars, I want to ask if it is possible to display a ressource (i.e a PDF document) directeur in the dashboard?
Thanks.

Yes, I have asked the focal person to share some example charts.

finding a way around the “Indicators cannot be specified as filter.” issue.
Then a few things which I understand is difficult with the current chart framework, but that would still be nice to have some day…:
more flexibility in the “layout”, e.g. two axis with different scale (indicator vs raw data in same chart etc)
combining chart types, e.g. line + bar
scatterplots, though only if there is more flexibility in the layout so that you can have data on X and Y axis

Yes sounds good. Please write a blueprint for each, and also please include
some more detail here, like how do you instruct the system on which data
elements/indicators/reporting rates belong to which axis/chart types.
Some mock-ups would be appreciated.
- scatterplots, though only if there is more flexibility in the layout so
that you can have data on X and Y axis
Okay.
I my mind the limitation with scatterplots is that they are not very
scalable - basically you need to use it for events, and you need to map all
events on a single charts without aggregation.
Let me know if I am wrong.
regards,
Lars

It might seem very superficial, but I think the ability to select colors is actually important - just as it is for Legends in GIS (in fact, it would be nice to be able to apply the legend colors to charts as well).
