Basic Features of the Dashboard Authoring Module

The Dashboard Authoring Module allows you to insert one or more Dashboards (control panels) into a model to create an interface for users viewing your model using the GoldSim Player.

Within a Dashboard, you can do the following:

By using multiple Dashboards, you can expose as many inputs as required to the model user. You can choose to hide all the computational details of the model, or if desired, you can provide a mechanism (e.g., an action button) by which the user can leave the Dashboard and "look under the hood" of the model.

Although any GoldSim model can be saved as a Player file and subsequently viewed using the GoldSim Player, a Player file that includes Dashboards can also be modified and run by the Player.
