CSS in UMP

[Miller Echagarreta]

Hi everyone.

I have some doubts, we are working in create dashbords, so i see that UMP support CSS.

We can create dashboard from CSS ? I know that a CSS change the look and feel for an user but we can use this for create or change a dashboard?
Exist some method for this, maybe add a file .css in some directory

Any idea?

the UMP with Liferay can use CSS to customize the look and feel of the UMP as a whole.
However, is have never heard of the ability to use CSS with the custom dashboard portlets as all of these reports are stored in the database not on the file system

I understand Gene, and you know in that table the dashboards are storaged?

Maybe it is just me but considering ump, liferay, dashboard designer are all going away with 20.3, perhaps it would be better to start doing dashboards in cabi which will be around.

Thanks @Gene Howard

@David Michel with cabi we can create​ dashboards with CSS options? cabi support this? Right now we have uim 8.51 sp1 and we will move to 20.3 in november.

This is the first time mention of CSS to come my way, so did a search and jasper server, which cabi is based on does.

The version with 8.51 is already some years old. One approach is to setup a lab with 20.1 just for testing and development.
