[Resolved] Dashboards: Post type or page?

Hello Toolset mentors.

I am planning to build a dashboard for recruiters as well as for experts on my jobs portal.
Each recruiter and expert will have a personal dashboard which will give them an overview of their activities such as posting jobs, shortlisting, offers sent etc.

I have worked with the jobify theme before and they use woocommerce to create a dashboard. I don't like the default woocommerce dashboard (for this purpose) which makes it very store like rather than a jobs dashboard.

I am planning to build a custom dashboard which works just the way I want it to work.
I am wondering whether it can be done by creating a page with blocks of different views within a content template, that each user gets to see their own activity of.

Would such a thing require a lot of php coding or can I build it with toolset & logical planning. Of course a bit of a code will be required I understand.

Thank You

Hi Anand,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Yes this is perfectly possible and fits within the scope of what our plugins can do. Manipulating the views plugin and content templates should allow you to achieve this.

Also I would recommend using the Layouts plugin as well.

Thanks,
Shane
