Hi Sergey,

the charts are a great addition to the new release. How can I create a page holding multiple charts, which will automatically refresh when opened?
Ideally, I want to create 3 or 4 queries in the DB, with corresponding charts in ASPRunnerPro and have them all open in a single page to give a dashboard style display.
Thanks

Shandy

Shandy,
create four charts in ASPRunnerPro each based on it's own SQL query.
Proceed to the Visual Editor and copy&paste all charts to the single page.

This is it.

Hi, I tried this method but it had trouble with the reports - got the pie chart across. The system seems to need to reset/refresh the page I've latered fairly often to catch any changed I am making (eg adding reports) and then that means resetting it and starting all over again. Very painful. Is there an easier way?!? I haven't even managed to copy across reports, only graphs/charts!
I suggest dashboards go on your next release as a feature, they're extremely useful and would be an awesome addition. The menu page as it stands now could become the dashboard page...

Excellent Sergay, thanks very much!

Kinda encountered the same problem if you reset the page.
The way I've done it is to format each separate view/chart and then copy and paste to the "main dashboard". Btw, our executives are loving my dashboard.....
Hope this helps.
