This lab will be an introduction into Dashboards on WebSphere Portal. The lab will begin with a brief introduction into Websphere Portlet Factory Designer and the Dashboard Framework builders. This will allow to rapidly create, test, and deploy composite applications that feature a dashboard-style user interface. Using Portlet Factory, you will create connectors into the Domino application using Domino views; Create a Domino service provider; and create a simple portlet to display Domino data in a table. Then, using Dashboard Framework, you will convert the simple portlet to a dashboard by adding items such as status indicators, web charts, etc.
