How to Add a Link to Dashboard

Sometimes it might be useful for users to be able to open a page within Pricefx directly from the dashboard.

The easiest way is to use the addLink DashboardController method.

Example
def controller = api.newController() controller.addLink("Open Quote", controller.QC_DETAILS_PAGE, "2529.Q") return controller

Note:

  • This method is available from the 7.0 Bijou release and only in the Pricefx UI.

  • Only Dashboards, Quotes and Agreements & Promotions internal page tokens are supported in old Ember Dashboards for the controller.addButton method.

Link in a Result Matrix

Links to documents can be included in a result matrix. See an example of a dashboard logic element below, which demonstrates various format types in a result matrix, including a link to a Quote:

def fields = [ [name: "% String value", type: FieldFormatType.TEXT], [name: "Integer value", type: FieldFormatType.INTEGER], [name: "Numeric value", type: FieldFormatType.NUMERIC], [name: "Date value", type: FieldFormatType.DATE], [name: "Date Time value", type: FieldFormatType.DATETIME], [name: "Link", type: FieldFormatType.LINK] ]; def m = api.newMatrix(fields.collect{it -> it.name}); def rows = []; def d = new Date(); for (int i=0; i< 100; i++) { rows << ["somewhere "+i, i, 0.11*i, d-i, d+i, m.linkCell(i, 'priceShopPage', i)]; } fields.each {field -> m.setColumnFormat(field.name, field.type); } rows.each {row -> m.addRow((0..row.size()-1).collectEntries{index -> [fields[index].name, row[index]] }); } def event_name = api.dashboardWideEvent('recalculateDashboard') m.onRowSelection().triggerEvent(event_name) .withColValueAsEventDataAttr('% String value', 'DA1') .withColValueAsEventDataAttr('Numeric value', 'DA2') .withColValueAsEventDataAttr('Integer value', 'DA3') return m;

Definition of m.linkCell(value, targetPage, targetPageState):

  • value – Object that is passed, should contain the quote ID.

  • targetPage – The name of the page to link to:

    • priceShopPage – For redirecting to quotes.

    • dashboardPage – For dashboards.

  • targetPageState
