Adv Search on a multiple chart page

G'Day everyone,

I have a list page that contains multiple charts/reports and I have done this by copy/paste additional charts into an initial chart list page in the visual Editor of PHPR.

This is my attempt to create some dashboard and avoid having to browse too many pages.

The advanced search on this combined chart page only works for the original chart,.

Is there a way to easily include the search to the other charts? Or is there a way to copy all search pages oin one and get it to work? I assume that combining the search would be possible if all charts on the list use the same table?

What's teh best way to implement this? Anyone has tried building a dashboard like page?
many thanks
Hich

Hich,
unfortunately there is no easy way to use one advanced search page for two or more charts.

This task requires a lot of custom coding.

Is it feasible to use a page with frames to get multiple charts?
Also, what about using one complex search to write appropriate SQL statements to a table in the database for each of the other charts. They could then reference these in the before SQL event code. Just an idea - haven't done it I like the concept of what you are trying to do.

Thanks Jane,
Is it possible to have multiple search buttons (copy/paste in the visual editor) and label these differently on a multiples chart list page so that users can search the chart they like?

This might be the perfect workaround for now and could be enhanced by providing a radio button or drop down list to select which chart a user would like to search.

I any case I need to clarify to the users what the search button does to set expectations correctly.

is it possible then to have different search buttons Jane? what do I need to do to realize this?
Many Thanks
Hich
