Creating Adobe Flex Projects

Add-ons for Dashboards are created as Adobe Flex projects. You can create three types of Adobe Flex

projects to extend Dashboards functionality: visual components, custom connections, and Excel functions.

After your add-on is added to Dashboards, visual components are accessible from the "Component"

browser, custom connections are available in the Data Manager, and custom Excel functions are invisible

during design time but, if they are used in the Excel spreadsheet, they execute in preview or export

mode.

The process for creating the Adobe Flex project for each type of add-on is basically the same, although

there are some steps that are specific to the add-on type.

Copy the Dashboards SDK Framework (xcelsiusframework.swc) into the libs folder of your Flex

project.

For more information see the

Dashboards Component SDK Installation Guide

4.1 To create Adobe Flex projects for use with Dashboards

Create a basic Adobe Flex project:

Start Adobe Flash Builder 4.

Select File > New > Flex Project. The "New Flex Project" wizard opens.

Set the project name and location for the type of add-on you are creating.

Note:

If the Use Default Location option is selected, your Adobe Flex Project is created in your workspace,

which is your-windows-user-folder\Adobe Flash Builder 4 by default.

The following table lists sample project names and locations for each add-on type:
