Cascading Form Input and Lookups for Conditional Populating of Dashboard Panels

[kmasood]

Hello,

I have a 4 rows x 2 cols dashboard layout for various app platforms; each platform consists of two servers. The left column has panels for data from "Server1" and right column from "Server2."

Instead of creating 4 dashboards for each app platform, I'm looking to consolidate into one "view."

Ideally, it would function like this: Select from a drop down of apps. If app selected = HelloWorld, then the left column renders data for HelloWorldServer1, and right column for HelloWorldServer2; if app = GoodBye, then left column renders data from GoodByeServer1, right from GoodByeServer2. In some cases, the server names don't follow this neat pattern.

I think "Cascading Form Input Element" example Dashboard, and Lookups are the way to go, but I'm missing the glue to put them together … or they're not the right tools here. Any ideas?

Hi kmasood,

take a look at the docs about Static and dynamic inputs to forms, there you will find an excellent example on how to build a dashboard doing what you are talking about.

hope this helps to get you started ...
