Creating new dashlets

[ahab]

Hi

I've just set up sugarCRM 5.0 community edition for evaluation purposes and wonders if it is possible to create new dashlets for the dashboard. I want to create one that shows projects per status (pretty much like the pipeline per sales stage, but with project stage instead of sales stage).

Is this doable?

Absolutely! The easiest way (for your first time at least) is to copy an existing one and change it until you get it to what you want. Sometimes this doesn't work but you'll learn what it's expecting to get it to work.

Thank you for the quick response. I've tried to change an existing dashlet, but I can't figure out how to get the data from another table.

I've started with the pipeline with opportunities per sales stage and I want to change it so that I get project per status insted. Can you tell me how to change the dashlet so that I get data from the project table insted of from the oppurtunity table?

I just realized that maybe I've been using the wrong term. I want to create a dashboard chart that shows me how many projects are in each state. Sorry if I fooled anyone. Can someone help me create a chart?
