Kinetic Launch Form Options to Dashboard as Opposed to Kinetic App

Continuing the discussion from How To: Kinetic - Launch a Form using App Studio:

The linked thread explains perfectly (after some 2025 shenanigans) when you want to do launch options to a Kinetic Application. However, the same process does not appear to work when calling a Kinetic Dashboard.

A lot of the baked in events and such are missing when you create a dashboard vs an application. I assume there must be a way to wire this up to do the same/similar thing.

On a related note, the functionality of embedding a dashboard seems to no longer exist either within the functionality of Application Studio.

This thread seems to be unanswered as well.

That was for a Classic customization BTW but I went another route when I uplifted this to Kinetic UI.

I did see that note that you had to go a different route. Trying not to do the same here :joy: mostly just trying to show I did click the search button before asking.

For Kinetic, I did what I should of done for the Classic customization. I converted the uBAQ custom code to a Function, created a non uBAQ as source for a BAQ Data View in App Studio. Created a custom panel card with fields and buttons and a grid to display the data.

We do plan on using a function for the record creation functionality that we need, but I assumed it would be easy to just pass the order/line/release to the dashboard.

Turns out I was wrong. Will have to do some additional debugging, but it did work when I just hard coded the row update event on the called application. The variables that we defined just seem to not be working.

I had this huge post written up to document how it seemed nothing was working as it should and as I was documenting things, the customization kept getting more and more squirrelly. By the end, I couldn’t even save anything at all into the JSON editor when trying to configure controls.

My best guess at this point is that something happened to this layer to corrupt it. I started over fresh, and everything worked as intended right from the start. It appears there is not really any difference in calling a Kinetic dashboard vs application.
