Dashboard access through URL via OpenDoc

[system]

Hello friends,

I have upgraded Xcelsius to Dashboard 4.0 (version 6.0.5.0) and trying to find out the syntax for the direct URL to my dashboard.
Earlier in Xcelsius, I used to have following URL:

https://MyServer.com/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?isApplication=true&appKind=InfoView&sPath=%5BFolder+Name%5D&sDocName=DashboardName&sType=tmp

I have tried several variations of the above URL, but have not been able to generate one for Dashboards.
Just wondering, if someone already has done that?

Will really appreciate your input.

Thanks!

I just use the path to wherever I’ve generated the swf/html file on the web server.

Can you give me an example URL?

Export the XLF to an HTML. Then you can open it directly in a browser… http://webserver/path/dashboardfile.html

Hi Debbie,

I was able to figure that out. Its in fact very simple in R4; In the launchpad, all I had to do was to do a right click on the file for which I want the direct URL, then select on the option “Document Link”. It gives me exactly what I wanted i.e.,

https://MyDevBox.org/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=Zx4dIzBf8flFi6EvAagp.PQ

I was even able to tweak it so I can use folder name and file name instead of Doc-Id. -i.e.,

https://MyDevBox.org/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sPath=[My+Folder=Name]&sDocName=MyDashboard

Thanks for your help though.

Thanks.

Ah. You’re exporting to Bobj. I don’t do that. My dashboards are created in xcelsius but run independently of Bobj.

Glad you’ve got it working.
