How do you add a dashboard page as a section in Freedom UI?
How do you add a dashboard page as a section in Freedom UI? I have an existing dashboard page which I want users to be able to access as though it were its own section, but I can't add the existing page to the workplace as it doesn't exist in the lookup window. I had a look at creating a new section in the application hub, but this will either create a new entity or have to be based over an existing entity, but this dashboard isn't based over any one particular entity and presumably doing this would create a new Section page which I didn't want. Any info on how to turn an existing page into a Section in Freedom UI?

Hi,
In general, there isn't a built-in feature for this. However, for such usage, we have the option to set a Homepage for the workplace. You can set this page instead of the current one.
But if you need two of your dashboard pages to be on the same workplace and displayed as a section, you can create a new section in the Freedom UI and replace its SectionSchemaUId with the UId of your dashboard page schema.
update "SysModule" set "SectionSchemaUId" = 'UId of dashboard schema module' where "Id" = 'Id of the section you want to open with the dashboard'
For example, I successfully set the SalesEnterpriseHomePage to open from the test section.
Hope this helps!
Hi Harvey!
Please confirm, am I understanding correctly that you want to replace the section ListPage with your own page containing dashboards?
Is your dashboard page implemented in FreedomUI?
Which page does this page inherit from? Is it the Homepage?
Hi Pavlo, Essentially I want to create a standalone section page, so one that isn't tied to a specific entity or have to be created using the section template in the application hub.
Yes, using Freedom UI exclusively.
And the page I have created is inherited from the Homepage exactly. Is it possible to register this page as a section page?

Thanks Pavlo, we already have a page being used as the Home page of the workplace the additional dashboard needs to reside in, so we had to do the database editing you suggested to get it to work, which it now does - thank you! This would be a very useful option to be able to do without custom SQL, no code being the aim of Creatio config going forward!
