Migrating custom Dashboard screens
If you added custom screens to the Dashboard, you must recreate these screens in the new user interface, because the Dashboard no longer exists as of SDL Tridion 2013 SP1.
About this task
In the past, you added a Dashboard screen to the Content Manager Explorer Dashboard or to the Experience Manager Dashboard by creating the screen as an ASCX control and configuring it in the configuration file of your custom Editor. Because the Dashboard no longer exists, you must remove your ASCX control from the configuration file(s).
- You can recreate the Dashboard screen as a Custom Page.
- If the Dashboard screen occupies a small amount of screen real estate, you can recreate the Dashboard screen in an extensible area of the Home screen in the slide-out navigation.
- If the Dashboard screen occupies a large amount of screen real estate, you can recreate the Dashboard screen as a standalone Web page, and specify a link to that page in the extensible area of the Home screen.
