4 Minute Screencast: Dashboard Indicators in SharePoint WSS

Comments: 3

One of the limitations of WSS is the lack of KPI and visual status indicators. In this screencast, I show a technique for displaying status information as a bar graph within any SharePoint list or library. Thanks to Christophe Humbert from Path to SharePoint for the original idea.

Embed this screencast on your site.

Visual status indicators, and other techniques for creating dashboards in WSS, are included in the Tuesday, June 30 live online workshop, Case Studies in SharePoint WSS Dashboards. The workshop is a three hour, live online, hands on session where you are given your own SharePoint sandbox to practice implementing the dashboard solutions.

I recommend SharePoint resources daily on my twitter account here.

Nicely done! Do you have to repeat the “Convert HTML Text to Graph” webpart on the main page as well as the list page?

Yes, every page has to have the Content Editor Web Part with the converter javascript in it. — Mark

Tried to replicate your code, but by saving the new calculated field for the visual status indicator, I get a syntax error. Can you help me? Thanks.
