Contractor's Project Mashboard

This is a sample application showing how a lot of disparate content can be aggregated on a single page to create an information "dashboard". It also demonstrates handy data organization components, as well as, intercomponent data sharing.

Scenario

I am a contractor running several concurrent projects. I have a commercial account with a large hardware retailer. I want to keep track of:

• project status details
• permit requirements
• order status
• order history
• weather and traffic conditions

Much of this information is repetative and project specific. So, I'll need a way to create and edit project data that I can reference from different pages in the Wiki. Now I want to put all the above listed informational requirements together on one page in an organized way.

The "Mashboard"

For a detailed review of this project see the overview page.

To start building the project we will start by defining the project data. Let's visit the project data page. Now, that our project data is created as "list" we can reference it from any other page in the Wiki. And, when we update the project data on the Data page the information is immediately available everywhere.

With our data created, we can move on to building the actual "dashboard" page. Let's get started by going here.
