Recipe: Internal Dashboard

This recipe builds an internal operations dashboard backed by Triform elements.

Elements

ElementRole
viewDashboard UI, forms, tabs, lists, and action controls.
sqlStructured operational data.
boardWork tracking for human-visible state.
automationMulti-step flows for background work.
scheduleTime-based triggers.
auth-policyAccess control.

Flow

  1. Create the data elements first: usually sql, document, or board.
  2. Add actions or automations that mutate the data.
  3. Create a view with bindings to those elements.
  4. Attach validation, rate limits, and auth policies.
  5. Use schedule or queue if updates should happen automatically.

Design Notes

Internal tools should be dense, calm, and scan-friendly. Use component patterns such as page headers, tables, tabs, filters, cards for repeated items, and callouts for operational warnings.
