UI Extensibility Framework - Dashboard - Input

KageDev

Hi,

I have been tasked with creating an interactive quote building system within the M-Files framwork. Based on conversations with the sales team, I feel the best way to do this would be to create a dashboard using UI extensibility that has inputs for organization and products. In the metadata window, when adding a value to a lookup field, when you type text, there is intellisense that shows the available values. Is there a way to implement this built in M-Files functionality within an inputbox of a dashboard?

    : What do you use from Javascript frameworks within dashboards and M-Files? The most examples are with JQuery (quite old versions), I know that the part of M-Files desktop is still in JQuery, some parts are transitioning into React if I am not wrong. Using some big frameworks such Angular would be overkill and the question is would it work. Knockout.JS sounds as a good choice. Any other experiences with embedding JS frameworks within M-Files? Thanks.

    Hello,

    Well all libraries should be compatible with IE11, so mostly old libraries Slight smile

    But at some point M-Files desktop will move to a new render engine, so we might use newer javascript libraries.

    Well, IE11 support has ended up officially on 15.06.2022. The good thing is at least that IE mode will be supported until 2029, however if MS decides to remove IE11 through some patch we would also need to be prepared to run M-Files through some policies in IE mode for UIX applications. Or am I wrong here and just worries too much?

    We don't have many client side apps, used it mostly only for nicer validations and hiding some menus. But now we need to go into links and potentially dashboards which makes me more worried.

    Well from from I understood, we should not worry to much, as the dashboard are unaffected by the EOL of IE.

    IE will be uninstalled automatically from Windows with a future update. Hope that will not break the dashboards Laughing

    Thanks, I went through the tutorials, looks like this combined with some jquery should do the trick, thank you!
