This package does the glue between :

• collective.eeafaceted.collectionwidget
• collective.eeafaceted.z3ctable
• collective.compoundcriterion
• collective.documentgenerator

This build a useable eea.facetednavigation based dashboard (works on both Plone 4.3.x and Plone 5.x). Use the demo profile to easily check what it does :

Dashboard is essentially made of a faceted widget displaying pre-configured searches, results are displayed in a faceted layout using a table.

This filter aims to display "functional and already well thought" searches to users.

• this filter uses the collective.eeafaceted.collectionwidget that is a faceted navigation widget displaying a list of searches stored in current folder;
• searches stored in folder are elements of type DashboardCollection (based on plone.app.contenttypes Collection) with 3 specific fields "Show number of items in filter?", "Enabled?" and "Condition" (let's Managers enter a TAL expression to define to who this search will be displayed in the collection faceted filter);
• it is possible to display the count information on a per search basis (here it is enabled for "Elements to review" and "Expired elements" searches);
• the current page title changes depending on selected search;
• a default search can be selected so it is executed when user access the dashboard.

Every faceted layout can be selected to display the dashboard results but collective.eeafaceted.z3ctable add a new faceted layout that displays a z3c.table with sortable columns (using the sort icons in the column header) and a selection column.

• columns may be selected on the defined DashboardCollections so different columns may be displayed for different searches;
• a "refresh search results" is available so user may refresh the faceted layout without having to reload the entire page;
• the selection column is useable with collective.documentgenerator or collection.eeafaceted.batchactions for example.

This package rely on collective.compoundcriterion, it adds a new search criterion called "Filter" for Collections that will let user select a named adapter registered for the ICompoundCriterionFilter. This adapter returns a catalog query compatible with a Collection query. This makes it possible to manage complex searches that are not configurable on a Collection using the querywidget.

Dashboard integrates the colletive.documentgenerator package that makes it possible to export a dashboard in any format supported by collective.documentgenerator (odt, doc, docx, ods, xls, pdf, ...). Exportable documents are managed by DashboardPODTemplates added in the dashboard folder.

• it is possible to restrict exportation templates to specific dashboard searches;
• as for DashboardCollections, it is possible to define a availability condition so document may only be generated by some users.

• integrate collective.eeafaceted.batchactions when it will work on Plone 5 (integration is already possible on Plone 4).
