Configuring dashboards in Umbraco UI Builder, the backoffice UI builder for Umbraco.
A dashboard is a view that is displayed at the root of a section and contains welcome information. It also includes useful tools relevant to the given section. When there are multiple dashboards to display in a section these are presented in a tabbed layout to allow you to switch between the dashboards.
You can define a dashboard by calling one of the AddDashboard
methods on either a SectionConfigBuilder
or a WithSectionConfigBuilder
instance.
Adds a dashboard with the given name.
Adds a dashboard with the given name before the dashboard with the given alias.
Adds a dashboard with the given name after the dashboard with the given alias.
Sets the alias of the dashboard.
Optional: When adding a new dashboard, an alias is automatically generated from the supplied name for you. However, if you need a specific alias you can use the SetAlias
method to override this.
Changing when a dashboard is displayed is controlled via an inner config. Options on the inner config are ShowForUserGroup
and HideForUserGroup
to control the visibility of the dashboard for given user groups. You can call these config methods multiple times to add multiple role configurations.
By default, will pre-filter dashboards to display only on the section it is defined in. This will be combined with the SetVisibility
config to decide when to display the dashboard.
Sets the dashboard visibility config.
Dashboards are only able to display a single collection. If you need to display multiple collections, then you need to configure multiple dashboards.
Sets the collection of the current dashboard with the given names, descriptions, and default icons. An ID property accessor expression is required so that Umbraco UI Builder knows which property is the ID property. For more information check the Collections documentation.
