IBM Business Monitor, V8.0.1 > Reference > Developing for Monitor dashboard spaces

Switching pages using code

You can make the Monitor dashboard switch the page that a user can see.

You must know the ID ( pid) of the page that you want to open.

You can code a widget to make Monitor dashboard switch the page that the user can see. That is, your widget behaves as if there was a Page Navigator widget with a Switch Page action wired to it. The page can be in the current space or in a different space. If the page is in the current space, the behavior is like the user clicking a different page tab in the space. If the page is in a different space, the behavior is like the user selecting to go to another space and then selecting which page to open. However, unlike using a Page Navigator widget, you cannot define a target event to pass data to the switched page.

Procedure

To switch pages, code your widget to call the com.ibm.mashups.builder.iEvent.SWITCH_PAGE event and pass the pid of the page that you want the user to see.
