Steedos Analytics Dashboards — File Format Guide

Overview | 概述

Dashboards are defined as .dashboard.yml seed data files stored under <package>/main/default/dashboards/. Each file describes one dashboard: its cards (question references + grid positions) and optional filter parameters.

仪表盘以 .dashboard.yml 种子数据文件形式存储，位于 <package>/main/default/dashboards/ 目录下。

File Location & Naming | 文件路径与命名

<package>/main/default/dashboards/<仪表盘名称>.dashboard.yml

Example: dashboards/日常看板.dashboard.yml

File Structure | 文件结构

name: <仪表盘名称>           # ⚠️ Required, MUST NOT be omitted | 必填，不能省略
archived: 'false'
auto_apply_filters: 'true'
enable_embedding: 'false'
entity_id: <MongoDB ObjectId>   # same as id
id: <MongoDB ObjectId>
show_in_getting_started: 'false'
parameters:                     # dashboard-level filter parameters (can be [])
  - ...
cards:                          # list of card placements
  - ...

Note: archived, auto_apply_filters, enable_embedding, show_in_getting_started are string values 'true'/'false', not YAML booleans.

ID Generation | ID 生成

All id, entity_id values are 24-character MongoDB-style hex ObjectIds. The dashboard's entity_id and id are always the same value. Each card placement also gets its own unique id and entity_id (same value).

Example: 68a58065b74676d1c8cb3615

Grid Layout | 网格布局

The dashboard uses an 18-column grid. Cards are positioned with:

Common layout patterns:

cards — Card Placement | 卡片布局定义

Each entry in cards places one question onto the dashboard:

cards:
  - card_id: <question id>          # references a question's id
    col: 0
    row: 0
    size_x: 6
    size_y: 3
    entity_id: <unique ObjectId>    # unique per card placement
    id: <same as entity_id>
    series: []
    visualization_settings: '{}'
    parameter_mappings: []          # or list if this card uses dashboard filters

parameter_mappings for a card | 卡片的参数映射

When a dashboard parameter filters a card, add parameter_mappings:

parameter_mappings:
  - parameter_id: <dashboard parameter id>   # matches parameters[].id
    card_id: <question id>                   # same as card_id above
    target:
      - dimension
      - - field
        - <object_name>.<field_name>
        - null

parameters — Dashboard Filter Parameters | 仪表盘过滤参数

  - name: 单位名称

Parameter types | 参数类型

values_source_type options | 数据来源类型

slug | 参数 slug

slug is the URL-encoded version of name. In Python: urllib.parse.quote('单位名称') → '%E5%8D%95%E4%BD%8D%E5%90%8D%E7%A7%B0'

For ASCII names, slug equals the name itself (e.g. name: status → slug: status).

Key Rules | 关键规则

1. File name = dashboard name: 日常看板.dashboard.yml
2. id == entity_id for both the dashboard and each card placement
3. Each card placement gets its own unique ObjectId (different from the question's id)
4. card_id references the question's id field (defined in .question.yml)
5. Grid is 18 columns wide — col + size_x must not exceed 18
6. parameter_mappings on each card must reference parameter_id values defined in the top-level parameters list
7. Boolean-like fields (archived, auto_apply_filters, enable_embedding, show_in_getting_started) are strings: 'true'/'false'
8. visualization_settings on each card is a JSON string '{}' (override per-card display settings, usually left empty)
9. series is always [] unless using combo/multi-series charts
10. No tabs field needed for single-tab dashboards

Workflow | 创建步骤

1. Create questions first: write all .question.yml files, note their id values
2. Plan the grid layout: decide rows, cols, sizes for each card
3. Define parameters (if filtering is needed): assign 8-char hex ids
4. Write the dashboard file: reference question ids in card_id, add parameter_mappings for each card that participates in filtering
