Is it possible to add a dashboard to MES

I have followed the steps I know to add a dashboard to MES. I am not able to get the customization to display.
I opened MES is customization mode and added a button to reference to the menuID for the dashboard. But I am not sure how to open MES to default to the customization.

Did you set the MES custom menu ID in the sysconfig file?

Thanks Lena. Forgot that step. Phase 2 of this is to get it to display on the EWA version. Do you have any tips for that?

No tips, it is pretty straightforward. Just generate the web form in customization mode.

Hi Lena,

You could add the dashboard in menu maintenance under process.

Then create a button on the MES and create a button click event and call the process.

This is exactly what I did. I get the customization in standard MES. However, we are using the kinetic interface with 10.2.400.4 and EWA interface. I do not believe it is possible to customize these.

Does anyone know if it is possible to customize kinetic versions?

7

Not yet Marykay.

Thank you Mark.

Are we still unable to customize kinetic MES? We are testing 10.2.500.7 currently with hopes of upgrading to it next month (currently on 10.2.300.12).

Correct. We might see something in 10.2.600 which usually arrives in March/April time frame in time for Insights. This is the usual cadence anyway. Twice a year.
