You can upload all dashboard visuals to your Fotoware Alto, create embeds, and update the imageUrl links in the code with the embed links.

Create or remove Dashboard

Create

1. Go to Settings >Templates.
2. ➕ Create a new template.
3. From the Template type dropdown list, select Dashboard page.
4. Select your system language first (create translations later).
5. Enter a name for the template.
6. Add HTML (see code below).
7. Save.
8. Reload the browser and find the dashboard as the first entry in Fotoware Alto.

Delete

1. Go to Settings >Templates.
2. Find the templates using the Dashboard page template type.
3. Find the template in your system language (English or German).
4. Select the template, then select the Delete icon (you cannot restore deleted items).
5. Reload the browser and find the dashboard as the first entry in Fotoware Alto.

Modify Dashboard

You can either modify the entire dashboard using HTML and CSS or use the following predefined widgets.

Dashboard search box

The Search Box is an element that lets you search for Content Items using a keyword. When you enter a search and select the correct channel and search settings, a redirect to content items is performed. The search box can be used with the tag cp-dashboard-search-box in the template.

Code example

<cp-dashboard-search-box
   class="override-classes"
   [defaultSelectedIds]="['products', 'keywords']"
>
</cp-dashboard-search-box>

Configurable attributes

Attribute Name	Required	Description
class		Classes that can be passed through to the internal HTML elements.
style		Styles that can be passed through to the internal HTML elements.
[defaultSelectedIds]		A string array of channel IDs to provide a preselected channel in the channel picker. If the current user has no access to any channels or the channels do not exist, the channel with the lowest sort order will be preselected. The first channel in the string array will be used if the user can access the channels.

Override styling

The dashboard Search Box is a wrapper around an internal search implementation. The bare minimum implementation of the Search Box widget can be considered as follows:

<div class="cp-dashboard-search-box" [ngClass]="class" [style]="style">
   <INTERNAL_SEARCH_BOX_IMPLEMENTATION
     class="search-box"
     [ngClass]="class"
     [style]="style"
   >
   </INTERNAL_SEARCH_BOX_IMPLEMENTATION>
</div>

The class cp-dashboard-search-box or the class for the internal search box search-box can be extended/overridden by a class that gets passed through by the class attribute. See examples for overriding below.

.override-classes.cp-dashboard-search-box {
 // Override class cp-dashboard-search-box
}
.override-classes.cp-dashboard-search-box .search-box {
 // Override class search-box
}

Dashboard banner

The Dashboard Banner is an element that contains a background image, a title, a teaser, and a search box. It is preconfigured to be at least 150px and a maximum of 33% of the viewport height. The banner can be used with the cp-dashboard-banner tag in the template.

Usage example

<cp-dashboard-banner
   class="override-classes"
   backgroundImageUrl="https://picsum.photos/id/519/1920/1080"
    teaserTitle="Welcome to the Content Platform"
    teaserText="Search or click on a box below for a specific area"
    [defaultSelectedIds]="['products', 'keywords']"
>
</cp-dashboard-banner>

Configurable attributes

Attribute Name	Required	Description
class		Classes that can be passed through to the internal HTML elements.
style		Styles that can be passed through to the internal HTML elements.
backgroundImageUrl		The URL of a background image. The image is being fit inside the container by CSS property object-fit: cover;. An image URL has to be provided.
teaserTitle		The title of the banner. Inserted as HTML <h1> element. Can be optionally passed.
teaserText		The teaser text of the banner. Inserted as HTML <p> element. Can be optionally passed.
[defaultSelectedIds]		The banner contains the Search Box widget. See the Configurable Attributes section of the Search Box.

Override styling

The bare minimum implementation of the Banner widget can be considered as follows:

<div class="cp-dashboard-banner" [ngClass]="class" [style]="style">
 <div class="content">
   <h1 class="teaser-title">{{ teaserTitle }}</h1>
   <p class="teaser-text">{{ teaserText }}</p>
   <cp-dashboard-search-box class="search-box" [defaultSelectedIds]="defaultSelectedIds"></cp-dashboard-search-box>
 </div>
 <img class="image" [src]="backgroundImageUrl" />
</div>

The class cp-dashboard-banner can be extended/overridden by a class that gets passed through by the class attribute. See an example of overriding below.

.override-classes.cp-dashboard-banner {
 // Override class cp-dashboard-banner
}
.override-classes.cp-dashboard-banner .teaser-title {
 // Override class teaser-title
}
.override-classes.cp-dashboard-banner .teaser-text {
 // Override class teaser-text 
}
.override-classes.cp-dashboard-banner .image {
 // Override class image
}

Dashboard cards

A card is a combination of an image and a title that can be linked to internal or external resources (such as a predefined list view). The card can be used by the cp-dashboard-card tag in the template.

Usage example

<cp-dashboard-card
   class="override-classes"
   openInNewTab="true" 
   channelId="products" 
   imageWidth="300" 
   imageHeight="200"
    title="Lorem Ipsum Short Title" 
    url="https://picturepark.com"
    imageUrl="https://picsum.photos/seed/third/500/500"
>
</cp-dashboard-card>

Configurable attributes

Attribute name	Required	Description
class		Classes that can be passed through to the internal HTML elements.
style		Styles that can be passed through to the internal HTML elements.
openInNewTab		Defines if the provided URL should be opened in a new tab or in the same tab where the card is selected.
channelId		Defines whether or not to show a card based on the user's permission for the provided channel ID. The card will be shown if a user has access to the provided channel ID. Otherwise, it will not be shown.
imageWidth		Width for the image inside the card. Defaults to 350px if no value is provided.
imageHeight		Height for the image inside the card. Defaults to 250px if no value is provided.
title		Title for the card.
url		URL to which the card should be linked. If the URL starts with /, the URL is being treated as an internal link. With an internal link, filter criteria can be used to link to predefined filters and search. If url is an internal link, openInNewTab will have no effect. In this case, the link will open in the same browser tab.
imageUrl		URL of the image that should be displayed on the card.

Linking to predefined filters

By providing filter criteria in the URL passed to the dashboard card, predefined filters can be linked to. The URL that is passed to the url attribute has to start with a / and contain the full filter string.

<cp-dashboard-card
   class="override-classes"
   channelId="products" 
   imageWidth="300" 
   imageHeight="200"
    title="Lorem Ipsum Short Title" 
    url='/contents/allContent?search=ocean&searchMode=and&sort=%5B%7B"field":"audit.modificationDate","direction":"Desc"%7D%5D&filters=%5B%7B"aggregationName":"contentType","filter":%7B"field":"contentType","term":"Video","kind":"TermFilter"%7D,"kind":"AggregationFilter"%7D,%7B"aggregationName":"audioMetadata.fileExtension","filter":%7B"field":"audioMetadata.fileExtension","term":".webm","kind":"TermFilter"%7D,"kind":"AggregationFilter"%7D%5D'
    imageUrl="https://picsum.photos/seed/third/500/500"
>
</cp-dashboard-card>

Note: The filter string does not need to be serialized and can be copied from the browser URL as is.

Override styling

The bare minimum implementation of the Card widget can be considered as follows:

<div class="cp-dashboard-card" [ngClass]="class" [style]="style">
   <a class="link">
     <div class="image-container">
       <img class="image" />
       <div class="image-shadow"></div>
     </div>
     <p class="title">{{ title }}</p>
   </a>
</div>

The cp-dashboard-card class can be extended/overridden by a class that gets passed through by the class attribute. See examples for overriding below.

.override-classes.cp-dashboard-card{
 // Override class cp-dashboard-card
}
.override-classes.cp-dashboard-card .link {
 // Override class link
}
.override-classes.cp-dashboard-card .image {
 // Override class image
}
.override-classes.cp-dashboard-card .title {
 // Override class title
}

Liquid syntax

The Dashboard page supports the Liquid template language.

You can access the following context from within your liquid template: 
{ isAnonymousUser: bool, userRoleIds: string[], userRights: UserRight[], isDeveloper: bool, loginUrl: string, customer: { customerId: string, name: string }

Example for checking user rights

{% if userRights contains "ManageSharings" and userRights contains "ManageEmbeds" %}
   <cp-dashboard-card
     channelId="keywords"
     imageWidth="250"
     imageHeight="200"
     title="Shares Page that will show only Embeds"
     url='/shares?sort=%5B%7B"field":"audit.creationDate","direction":"Desc"%7D%5D&searchMode=and&filters=%5B%7B"aggregationName":"ShareType","filter":%7B"field":"shareType","term":"Embed","kind":"TermFilter"%7D,"kind":"AggregationFilter"%7D%5D'
     imageUrl="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1560007689-654552332adf"
   >
   </cp-dashboard-card>
   {% endif %}

Example for checking user role IDs

{% if userRoleIds contains 'bc0f6581b236497fbddf3ff67bfd2459' %}
 <section class="cards-section">
   <cp-dashboard-card
     channelId="keywords"
     openInNewTab="true"
     imageWidth="300"
     imageHeight="200"
     title="Picturepark Website"
     url="https://picturepark.com"
     imageUrl="https://picturepark.com/data/System/KEI-Automated-Testing-DO-NOT-DELETE/picturepark.png"
   >
   </cp-dashboard-card>
 </section>
 {% endif %}

Guest Portal access

When using the Guest Portal feature, you can customize the text displayed when accessing the dashboard.

Usage example

{% if isAnonymousUser %}
     <p class="teaser-title">
       You are accessing the public area of this Picturepark <a href="{{loginUrl}}">Login</a> to get full access!
     </p>
{% endif %}
