Flowfuse Dashboard 2.0

[kfernando2001]

Hi FlowFuse Team,

I am currently developing a Cart Tracking System that uses QR codes containing links that direct users to a Node-Red dashboard. The dashboard retrieves and displays details of the specific cart based on the scanned QR code.

As multiple users need to use the system simultaneously, I have been trying to implement the Dashboard 2.0 Multi-Tenant functionality. However, I am facing an issue where accessing one cart's details updates all previously opened dashboard pages with the new cart’s information.

I have tried the following steps:

1. Stored cartID and tenantID in flow context to differentiate between users.
2. Modified the UI to include query parameters (cartID, tenantID) to ensure session separation.
3. Checked Google Sheets integration to confirm the data retrieval is accurate for different users.
4. Tested multiple browser sessions, but all instances still reflect the most recently accessed cart instead of maintaining separate sessions for each user.

Could you provide guidance on proper session management or best practices for Multi-Tenant functionality in Dashboard 2.0? Any insights on maintaining separate dashboards per user session would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi @kfernando2001 - we recommend taking a look at https://dashboard.flowfuse.com/getting-started.html#design-patterns

That discusses the ingredients for a multi-tenant pattern. If you're running Dashboard 2.0 on FlowFuse, then you can use the FlowFuse User Addon, and ensure you have the relevant widget types toggled on to "Accept Client Data" in the Dashboard sidebar.
