I appreciate that @Chad, I’m sure your leadership skills are paying off with the crew!

I am very elusive Troy. Ha. It has been a totally different skillset setting up and leading superintendents rather than running a project. Still adjusting and figuring out my new normal. I am still using your name to my peers though. 🙂 And I was just touting your skills at our Chicago Bug meeting this last month. Angela Aff said “Troy is the BEST”!

I am not. I have a separate project folder for each job and just rename the dashboard. I am sure there are some upgrades that could be made but now I am just too busy. And now that I say that it reminds me of the guy that is too busy to stop chopping at the tree to stop and sharpen the axe. Ha.

Who is this @Chad guy? Haven’t heard from you in ages my friend, must be pouring some serious concrete!

Thanks for sharing. I think there are some really cool things you can do with Dashboards, but there aren’t enough use case stories to show the posibilities. I look forward to creating some content down the road once I get some big projects complete.

Nice! well done @isaac-harned

We use a dashboard for onboarding and general program/workflow training. Eventually I would like to code some quizzes and make this an actual training app.

Looks great Chad! Are you running more than one project / dashboard at a time?

Hi Dave. I’ve started looking at using these but haven’t found the time to build anything yet so, will definitely be interested to see what others are doing!

David, I’ll be your Huckleberry!

My Dashboard isn’t new but it is still working for me. I keep it in a Project Startup Folder and just change the name of the project. It has four pages that are all linked together. Looking forward to see some other peoples Dashboards.

So there are more than 40 of us in this group. Anyone have any new Dashboards that they would like to show off? Anyone have any questions for the group?

I have also had no luck when trying to modify trust settings (in previous projects, I haven’t tried recently).

A small update to this, I tried to play with some of the trust settings to see if it could be a reason, but no luck. Added the network drive and the specific folder, but still get a security error.

Hopefully that API expansion is coming soon and is not a let-down.

Yeah….. My optimism on this has lowered over the past several weeks.

I think technically you could accomplish it through the A-word, but would be annoying to have to use that every time to update links. Hopefully that API expansion is coming soon and is not a let-down.

I’ll have to take a look at this over the weekend.

I do agree with you that manipulating hyperlinks is not a function that Bluebeam has allowed with their JavaScript API. I like your workaround to use buttons, but it’d be nice to just straight be able to insert hyperlinks.

Ok getting more into the weeds of what Liz was referring to with security:

I tried to add a “File//” at the beginning in order to call file explorer if trying to go to a directory. it seems to concat just fine, but gave me a security error when I tried to execute.

It WILL however concatenate to open a specific file, i.e.:

var dataLink…

ok got the base of this working, let me know if I’m on the right track or if you need to do this a different way before I take it any further:

Global code:

function launcher() {

var link = this.getField(“Text1”).value

app.launchURL(link);

}

Button code (mouse up, javascript)

launcher()

If this is the right idea, we can take an input and…

So in looking for the answers to one question, I stumbled on a possible solution for this. setAction on a button can be modified by code to “openDoc” instead of “launchURL”. Is this something that would help?

This is pretty frustrating, it looks like one way to do this would be to place a field on the page to collect the base of the address, then concatenate with a set of standard relative links. Couple of problems I am running into playing with this, and maybe you can expand Liz:

So there is no way that I can see to manipulate active hyperlinks as…

I did eventually find something and you can’t. If you open it via a hyperlink, it will always open in the browser
