Dashboard Web Compatibility

Dashboards can be displayed two ways: natively on your PC using ViewPoint (Explorer screen or ViewPoint shortcut), or using a web browser in conjunction with SEQUEL Software's SEQUEL Web Interface (SWI) product.

Dashboards must be saved as user space objects (USRSPC) to display them in SWI.

All dashboard objects are supported in SWI—some with limitations. Special consideration is required when designing dashboards for use in SWI.

File Location

Files used in dashboards designed for web access (using SWI) must be stored on the IFS of the System i. This includes:

When creating your dashboards for the web, copy these files to the IFS - \\systemi\root\sequel\swi\dashboards - and add them to your dashboard from this location.
