Launching WebFOCUS dashboard from PMF
We are currently using PMF 4.2 and have set up a set of Scorecards for our business processes metrics. We'd also like to create a scorecard that can call another WebFOCUS dashboard not currently managed in PMF. We would like to do it from the Perspective level and would like to attach it either directly to the perspective link or as another option which would either replace or be in addition to Show Measures option in the pull down box. Is there any way to accomplish this without modifying the PMF code? This would allow us to keep all of our dashboard reporting in a common structure withing the PMF framework. If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate them. Thanks for your help.

Without any custom coding at all:

- You can link any dashboard of any kind into a BID dashboard and put it on its own tab.

- You can manage that content via PMF's content (e.g., Launch Page) feature set.

- You can wrap the components of the dashboard into Gadgets and place them on a native PMF dashboard. Of course if it was built using the HTML layout tool splitting the dashboard up into bits would involve some coding, probably.

thanks
