|
|
|

Dash is a moodle block which can be used to display and visualise data for various purposes. Create course catalogs, dashboards, community pages, reports, timelines and much more with Dash, the page builder for Moodle and Totara. Dash comes with several widgets that area immediately ready to use, for example to create a community page. For more advanced users, the dash framework provides many options to create data-driven, bespoke interfaces easily.

# Motivation for this plugin
|
|
|
9 |
Dash is intended to be used in conjunction with a theme — while the theme takes care of the design, Dash allows administrators to create custom layouts and interfaces using configuration only. The Dash framework enables you to create data driven interfaces and reports. Choose from several data sources and several layouts to build the interfaces you need. The core of dash is a block (this repository) – which means that you can add a dash almost everywhere.

# Moodle release support
|
|
|
59 |
This plugin is maintained for the two most recent major releases of Moodle as well as the most recent LTS release of Moodle.
|
|
|
60 |
If you are running a legacy version of Moodle, but want or need to run the latest version of this plugin, you can get the latest version of the plugin, remove the line starting with $plugin->requires from version.php and use this latest plugin version then on your legacy Moodle. However, please note that you will run this setup completely at your own risk. We can't support this approach in any way and there is an undeniable risk for erratic behavior.
