Dashboard with Multiple Document Types

[jeffrey_slavik]

Is it possible on a single dashboard to have three pie charts based off of 3 separate document types?

Hi, Jeffrey, and thank you for using Reporting Dashboards.  The answer to your question is yes.  One way to achieve that is to create three data providers, one for each document type, and assign all three to the dashboard.  Then you can add three pie charts to the dashboard and assign a different data provider to each one.  If you have any questions, please let me know.  Thank you.

Hi Jason, thank you!  Good to know.  New to the dashboard module, so I appreciate the guidance.

Alternatively, with one single data provider, you can also create three Pie Dashboard Items, and on each item you can add a filter with Document Type equals to different name.  You will need to include the Document Type as Arguments.

I very much so prefer this method as making 3 data providers means more room for failure. I would highly suggest looking at this approach if you are truly wanting to follow this.
