We’re knee deep in migrating from classic to Kinetic on the browser. Is it possible to have a dashboard menu item be set to user choice, like all the other Epicor apps? We have our classic dashboard for the existing users, and the kinetic dashboard (as a separate menu link) for our beta testers.
Instead of two separate menu links, I’d like to use one with the Form To Use set to ‘User Choice’.
Possible?
Try a “Menu Item” program type. You should be able to select the classic and kinetic app at the same time. I don’t have any classic dashboards to test this.
I can confirm this works. It’s what we are doing.
I do it like this which gives users the choice if they select classic. Not sure if it different at all by doing the above.
Michael and Mike,
Thanks! I’ll give that a try.
Tim,
How does Epicor know what Kinetic dashboard app to open? How is the new dashboard linked to the old menu item for the classic dashboard?
I have a Kinetic dashboard called amazonInventory I made in App Studio. If a user has their preference set to Classic it will open the classic dashboard Ice.UI.Dashboard.dll (Person before me called it this. I do not like the name), but if it is set to Kinetic it will open the kinetic.
It’s called that because it is using the dashboard runtime, not a deployed dashboard.
If you had deployed it, it would be a dashboard assembly, and have a proper name.
