Standard Portal / Dashboard Page

Use this for complex dashboards that require two-level menu navigation

Overview

Responsive layout for a dashboard / portal page with icons. Includes a slidable sidebar menu and tab-like UI component for showing and hiding modules. The sidebar menu is hidden by default on mobile but users can click on the hamburger menu in the upper left to open the sidebar.

Structure

• When this page is added to your app, it will come with two main groups:

  • Group main content - Paste group (do no rename this group) This group contains the responsive settings for all additional blocks you would add to the page. It is only visible when the toggle is set to the list view

  • Group portal sidebar - Paste group (do no rename this group) This group contains all the portal tab menu items.

• This page will also come with one popup:

  • Popup Hidden Variables This popup includes various variables that are referenced in workflows or conditionals on the page.

    • var -app settings - This group stores the app settings object (e.g., app name, primary color, and etc.)

    • var - tab url parameter - This group stores the name of the tab (of type text) that the user is currently viewing.

    • var - sub url parameter - This group stores the name of the subtab (of type text) that the user is currently viewing.

    • var - placeholder - This is a placeholder variable group. You can store any data here by updating the data type and data source of the group.

    • var - app variables - This group stores the app-wide variables in the app variable data object.

    • var - main content responsive mode - This group stores the responsive mode of the portal page. This will toggle the page viewport between relative mode or fullscreen mode.

    • var - sidebar mode - This group stores the sidebar mode using the canvas app's portal page style updater. This can be managed from the Admin page > Branding tab > Portal page style option. You can select Dark mode or Light mode for different types of portal pages.

• The page comes with two navigation elements that toggle the filter sidebar's visibility on mobile:

  • FloatingGroup Open sidebar button

  • FloatingGroup Close sidebar button

• Clicking on Group Nav back to top will scroll to the top of the portal page.

How to set up

• Reconnect page load workflow (Bubble is currently unable to retain custom workflows triggered from a reusable element)
• Within Group portal sidebar - Paste group, you will find various reusable elements called sidebar_tab [name]. To customize these tabs, simply update each tab's reusable properties.

Showing or hiding a block

• For each block that you add to Group main content - Paste group, uncheck the box for This element is visible on page load and check the box for Collapse this element's height when hidden.
• For each block, go to the Conditional tab and add a conditional statement for when to show the block:

  • var - tab url parameter's text is sidebar_tab [name]'s tab text then This group is visible

How do I change the color of the sidebar?

• You can change the color of the sidebar by logging in as an App Admin, going to the Admin Page > Branding tab > Portal page style
