Overview Dashboard (Tiles)

Adds a dashboard where you can configure tiles from any view and add them as short cut.

By default, the tile displays items count of a given model restricted to a given domain.

Optionally, the tile can display the result of a function on a field.

Function is one of sum, avg, min, max or median.
Field must be integer or float.

Tile can be:

Displayed only for a user.
Global for all users.
Restricted to some groups.

Note: The tile will be hidden if the current user doesn’t have access to the given model.

Known issues / Roadmap

Known issues

Roadmap

Add icons.
Support client side action (like inbox).
Restore original Domain + Filter when an action is set.
Posibility to hide the tile based on a field expression.
Posibility to set the background color based on a field expression.
