The Web Component Framework 69
Managing Dashboards
Views can be configured using:
• A query—to provide data binding
• A context—what is shown depends on the context passed to the page or
component
• A flow—an action to be performed based on user input, such as a drill down page
Other data binding choices exist. For more information, see “Configurable Properties
and Runtime Values” on page 130.
View components and their containers have properties that are described in the
Vizioncore Web Component Reference. Refer to it for details about these properties.
Web Component Framework in vFoglight
The views in vFoglight are constructed from the UI components in the Web Component
Framework. The data in the views come from the vFoglight data source. If you want to
know what data is available in a running vFoglight instance, you can browse it in the
Definitions > Data tab.
A user with the proper permissions can build new views to better address an
organization’s specific needs. If you want to customize vFoglight by designing and
building your own add-on views, a good place to become familiar with the process is
the Vizioncore View Component Tutorial. It leads you through the basics of
constructing new dashboards and dependent views and introduces you to some
frequently-used components.
You can modify:
• a page by adding, removing or moving views
• a view, for example, by adding columns, removing metrics, and changing
required input
• a query by adjusting the data to retrieve or the criteria with which to select it.
