Creating a webscript dashlet in Alfresco

To develop a custom dashlet in Alfresco we need 3 things:

- A Webscript.
- A Jsp.
- A Freemarker template.

1.- Firstly, create a webscript with the actions that you want to show in Alfresco Dashboard. WebScripts WikiPage.

For example:
\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\templates\my_webscript.ftl

2.- Create a Jsp for the dashlet in: \tomcat\webapps\alfresco\jsp\extension\dashboards\dashlets\my_webscript.jsp with this content:





3.- Add to web-client-config-custom.xml the next config:



Finally restart Alfresco and configure the dashboard to show your new dashlet.
