Hide/Show entire modules in a dashboard (and update subsets?)

Alessio_Pagliano

Hi all, 

 

I'm trying to identify the easiest/best solution to allow the end user to select a specific member from a list, select a specific calculation type (and therefore update relevant subsets) and then show/hide the relevant modules that use that specific calculation, hiding everything else.

I'm not 100% sure which is the easiest way to manage this ? Attached clearer specs and an example.

Any suggestions ? I've got the feeling that I'm over-engineering the solution ?

Thanks,

Alessio

You cannot hide and show modules. But I guess you can have dashboards for each situation and use a button with context to open the right dashboard.

Hi Nathan, 

 

Thanks for your reply. I'm attaching the solution I went down with, at the moment. I feel that it's a bit convoluted from a technical point of view and it seems I need to refresh the dashboard to update changes in selections (with this being the only drawback, I would say). From a visualisation point of view I'm meeting the requirements. 

It does what it's supposed to do but it's definitely not a "lean/simple process". Draft screenshot to detail my thinking/solution behind this attached.

 

Unfortunately the requirement is to have everything in one dashboard : your approach would have definitely been the easiest, but it's been pushed back at the moment (good to see the suggestion!).

 

Thanks,

so you concatenated all calcs within one module and hide/show them depending a selector, probably using a line item subset ?

 

classical I would say, don't worry about it beeing too complex

Hi, 

Yes, that's correct 🙂

I try to keep the solutions as easy as possible so that they are easier to maintain by the team going forward.
