Introduction

Our programs are really good at collecting data, but making sense of all that data and turning it into useful information can be a challenge. Reports are good and graphs are great but real-time information collected into one place is better.

iDash allows you to add a dashboard to your program.

The goal of a dashboard is to display all the real-time information to your user that they need to make decisions in a single window. They need to be able to organize this data, and view it in a way that makes sense to them.

Because a dashboard is highly customizable it's no good just creating a window, putting some graphs on it, and calling it done. Rather the dashboard becomes a container, containing many individual Widgets, and the user has complete control over which widgets are displayed, their size and their order.

iDash is designed to be used in Clarion 8 or later and supports both Legacy and ABC template sets.

iDash contains iWidget

A widget is simply a way of displaying data, which can be included on a dashboard. There are many kinds of widgets including your own custom widgets, a Simple Text Widget (included with iWidget) and widget support built into other tools.

iWidget provides the framework for creating your own widgets, or for using widgets provided by other tools. It is an extensible framework which allows other 3rd party developers to add widget support to their products.
