CalWin WEB Dashboard

Introduction

CalWin dashboard is a feature to display traditional CalWin reports as non-interactive dashboards on public display in production, in the office etc. With CalWin WEB Dashboard the same dashboards can be displayed on any modern browser. That can be a smart tv, a computer screen connected to for example Raspberry PI or Chrome Box.

Installation

CalWin WEB Dashboard is bundled as part of CalWin Server, but the APPX file has to be installed before use. You can do that from Data/Systemproperties/Application. Press Install/Update and select the CalWin Dashboard.appx file from the appx folder were the CalWin application is installed.

After installation a user has the be added. That can be any user and is not important. The recommendation is to add a specific CalWin user for this purpose. For example named CalWinDashboard.

After adding a user, take a not of the Passphrase - that will needed when setting up the URL in the browser.

Setting up a browser/display

To use a dashboard you will need a URL with som query parameters. The syntax is:

https://<URL to CwServer>/dashboard?id=<DashboardId>&key=<Passphrase>&trans=<Transition>

The <passhphrase> is from the users in the application configuration as described in the Installation part.

The <dashboardid> can be found in CalWin under Data/Reports and Dashboard.

The <transition> is the transition effect between individual dashboards. The valid values are:

1 = Fade In - Fade Out 2 = Slide In Left - Slide Out Left 3 = Zoom In - Zoom Out 4 = Grow Up -Grow Down 5 = Bounce In Left - Bounce Out Right

If you omit query parameters, for example https://cwserver.example.com/dashboard, you will get a help screen.
