How to show latest open cases on Home Page

Hello,

 

I wish to display the latest Open Cases and possibly another "widget" showing oldest open cases in the same way "My Tasks".

Is there anyway to do this, and if so is there a tutorial?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

You'll need to create home page component with an iframe of a visualforce page that queries the most recent cases.

Hi,

On Home page one can put components which refer toa VF page or is driven by VF pages in which you can show any data desired by you, in your case "Newly created Cases"

Do let me know if it worked and in case of any issues drop me a mail.

Figured it out!

Simply enabled Developer Mode, then created a VF page as suggested, then used this:

 

<apex:page showHeader="false">
<apex:ListViews type="Case" />
</apex:page>

 

Then made an HTML component with an iFrame pointing to the newly created VF page.

 

Thanks for all your help!

New problem now!

I want the links within the list to open up in the parent window, rather than within the iFrame.

Possible?
