Hello all, right now we have a simple dashboard with reports listed in 4 blocks in the left frame and the output in the right frame. I have been asked to change my left frame up a bit.

For example the initial screen would have listings in the left side like
Revenue
Cost
Inventory

Then for example, if the user clicks on Revenue it would change the left hand side to
Sales Reports
Bookings Reports

Then if the user were to click on Sales Reports it would go to my current left hand frame with the 4 blocks. Is it possible to set up a Dashboard this way?

Thanks,

Tim

I think that most people on this forum would agree that anything is possible. In your case I believe that all you would need to do ensure that the proper "TARGET" attribute is set for all of you links and forms. That should be the easy part. The hard part might be figuring out what those target names actually are. I don't have any easy way of figuring out what those are (other than view/source). Maybe someone else can help here.

Jones,

I would just create my own html. That way I would know what the frames were and I could use JS to control the left side. Its actually real easy to do using the html layout painter. You can then put the html page you create up on the dashboard instead of the individual fexes. I do stuff like this all the time.

I usually put this in the content of each of the frames in a Dashboard View to give me the names of the frames:

<script type="text/javascript">
alert(self.name);
</script>
