10/26/2023, 7:45 PMNot on the Home page, I don't think as it's not scriptable. You can load them on any scriptable page (EDIT view of a record, a Suitelet, etc)

10/26/2023, 7:49 PM@Clay Roper - a quick way to be able to run code from the dashboard (i.e. running quick searches and displaying results). It would be masked by a "command palette" that would be similar to the Global Search but.... actually helpful for power users.

10/26/2023, 7:50 PM@erictgrubaugh I'm thinking I might write all the logic in a suitelet, then just use POST calls to the suitelet to return any data I'm trying to pull/display quickly

10/26/2023, 7:50 PMI have no experience to speak of with them, but have you looked into Portlets? Also, where does the requirement for it to be on a dashboard come from, and could you pivot to a Suitelet for display as well?

10/26/2023, 7:52 PMDashboard requirement is just a personal requirement... I'd love for me (and any users) to be able to hit a keyboard shortcut from the homescreen and see a command palette of options (that would be customizable) to quickly run tasks that they perform often
FWIW I built this all out in a Chrome Extension, but with Manifest 3 coming "soon", it's going to be much harder to maintain.

I missed Portlet.clientScriptFileId the first time I read that page. I think this opens up a world of possibilities

10/26/2023, 7:54 PMthe only technical thing to keep in mind is that the simple form portlet is implemented in an inframe, which is why it has access to require

10/26/2023, 7:56 PMso if you wanted access to the dashboard window, you need to use the parent

10/26/2023, 7:56 PMGood call out- I'll play around with that and see what I can come up with. Appreciate your input!

10/26/2023, 9:31 PMWorking on something similar and the components are:
1. simple form portlet
2. client script
3. html page
4. suitelet

10/26/2023, 9:39 PM@Eric B Curious what you're using the html page for?
Also, are you me?

10/26/2023, 9:46 PM@ericbirdsall I'm using the HTML page as a template for the layout display which has placeholders that I replace actual values with after making a call to the suitelet. The portlet is just a loading mechanism and all the work is done on the client script so the one caveat is that the portlet can't be collapsed, otherwise the client script won't fire.
