HTML Portlets: Have you been able to reference fields?

[Anon Anon]

I'd like to create a project level dashboard (v14.2).  Each of the key stages is a separate date field on the project object.      Ideally for status, we'd like to allow inline editing to update the status.

 

'm trying to get some formatting in my tables so that my data appears horizontally rather than vertically. I thought that if I use an HTML portlet, instead of a grid portlet, I might be able to achieve this.

 

Key Stages	Date	Status
Due Diligence	Sept 2015	Complete
Lease Pre-commit	Sept 2015	WIP
Implementation / EOI	Oct 2015	tbc
Sales Date	Q2, 2015	tbc
Development	Mid 2018	On track

 

 

The html portlet looks like this:

If I do take this approach, can anyone tell me if I am able to display field information from within CA PPM onto the portlet dashboard?   I haven't been able to find any guides to advise either way.

Hi LinaLawrence81980326, 

In your question, you mentioned "allow inline editing to update the status".  Were you able to to that?  If yes, would you mind sharing some example code?

 

thx,

John
