Dashboards (Content Store only)

A dashboard is a panel that contains one or more constantly updated lists of content items maintained by CUE. Dashboards provide an easy way for editors and others to maintain control over the editorial workflow. A dashboard might, for example, contain two lists: one showing all draft content items in the Sports section and the other showing all approved content items in the same section. Another dashboard might contain a single list showing all image content items that are in the approved state. You can define any number of dashboards.

The content of a dashboard is updated every 30 seconds by default.

All the dashboards available to you can be displayed by selecting from the left hand navigation menu:

Double-click on one of the listed dashboards to display it in a new tab.

The content item lists displayed in a dashboard are the results of predefined searches. The appearance and functionality of a dashboard depends upon whether it contains just one search result list, or several.

A single-search dashboard looks more or less identical to the CUE search panel:

Like an ordinary search panel it has a search field at the top and a filter drop-down on the right that you can use to narrow down the contents of the list. And as with the standard search panel, you can also save searches. A saved search created in a dashboard belongs to the dashboard: you will not find it in the standard search panel or in any other dashboard.

A multiple search dashboard has a simpler layout, and the searches it provides cannot be modified:

There is no search field or filter panel: just lists of search results.

Creating dashboards is a Content Store configuration task. No configuration work is required in CUE itself. For instructions on how to create dashboards, see Dashboard Definitions.
