The only way I can get the new dashboard to show is by restarting the Alfresco/Tomcat service. I've even tried looking at the dashboard with a different browser just in case it was a local caching issue but it's not.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any ideas on how to make the dashboards refresh to the new layout without having to restart the Alfresco/Tomcat service every time?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 09 Sep 2015 01:24:08 GMT akusei 2015-09-09T01:24:08Z Creating a site dashboard https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/creating-a-site-dashboard/m-p/301822#M254952 I've created a web-script module extension and have verified that it works correctly.
