Any reference on the Dashboard API

Are there any good references on the Dashboard APIs out there? I’ve been finding only the most scant of information so far.

I’ve been authoring custom console dashboards for a while now, but the time has come that I need to teach a few other people and I’d rather have an official source.

As an example, even though I’ve used it in dozens of dashboards, I’m not even sure where the JavaScript “EvaluateRelevance()” comes from, or what other common functions live there that are available for our use. Or whether there are any warnings like “Don’t use EvaluateRelevance(), use BFRelevance from ComponentLibrary.js instead”.

The only thing I’ve found is the dashboard framework on bitbucket:

https://bitbucket.org/bigfixme/dashboard-framework

In that repository is the only actual guide i’ve found – Advanced Development Guide.pdf (1.4 MB)

Not exactly documentation but at least it’s a start!

Maybe someone from IBM can make external whatever internal documentation there is?
