Introduction

Dashboards Reporting page in IASO2012 is updated.

Now reporting page is based on HTML template dashboard.html.

There are two places where dashboard.html files could be placed:

One place is for customizing email dashboard template. To change design of the dashboard that the users will receive by email (for different groups different layouts are possible), you should put modified dashboard.html into common_user\status\groups\[full_group_name] folder.

Second is for customizing design in IASO2012 Client 'Reporting page'. To change design of the dashboard that is in the IASO2011 Client you should put new dashboard.html file into common_user\dashboards\[full_group_name] folder.

How does IASO2011 know which template to show?

BackupFP tries to download dashboard.html from common_user_folder\dashboards\[full_group_name]\dashboard.html every 5 minutes.
If there is no template in group folder then BackupFP tries to download dashboard.html from common_user_folder\dashboards\dashboard.html.
If template found it will be placed into "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\IASO\Backup Manager\storage\username\config\dashboard.html".
When BackupManager needs to show report it requests template from BackupFP and displays report.
If BackupFP returns empty template BackupManager will use internal dashboard template.

To customize the display of dashboards please follow the steps below:

Download dashboard.html example file to any folder on your machine. This file stores all the rules of dashboards display.
Modify dashboard.html file in the way you like the dashboards to be displayed.
After modifications are completed put file dashboard.html to Management Engine folder. Management Engine will generate username.html files automatically for all users on the basis of the dashboard.html you have modifyed.

The dashboard generated on the basis of our example is below:
