Dashboards Report: list reports in dashboards?

Hi Workfront community!

 

I'm building a report that lists all our Dashboards, and I just wanted to list which Reports are on them for each row in the table. Is that even possible? I tried finding something that might sound like a collection of Reports in the API Explorer, but I don't see anything that seems to be it. Do you either 1) know what text mode to use to list reports on dashboard, or 2) how do you go about keeping track of what's in your Dashboards for instance cleanup?

 

Thanks  😀,

Laurence

    Hi Laurence, 

    In a dashboard report, the below textmode in a view column will display the reports contained in each dashboard: 

    displayname=Reports
listdelimiter=<br>
listmethod=nested(portalTabSections).lists
textmode=true
type=iterate
valueexpression={internalSection}.{name}
valueformat=HTML

     

     To show which calendars are contained in a dashboard, a separate column is necessary: 

    displayname=Calendars listdelimiter=<br> listmethod=nested(portalTabSections).lists textmode=true type=iterate valueexpression={calendarPortalSection} valueformat=HTML

    You can sort of do this the other way around... 

    If you create a report of Reports, you can add a column for what Dashboards a particular report is on. Its a collections column. The script for the column is:

     

    link.linkproperty.0.name=ID
    link.linkproperty.0.valuefield=ID
    link.linkproperty.0.valueformat=val
    link.lookup=link.view
    link.value=val(objCode)
    listdelimiter=<hr>
    listmethod=nested(portalTabSections).lists
    name=Dashboards
    stretch=0
    textmode=true
    type=iterate
    valuefield=portalTab:name
    valueformat=HTML
    width=300
