This example shows how to load a dashboard template and edit it in the designer.

First, you need to add the StiNetCoreDesigner component to the view page. Also you need to pass the StiNetCoreDesignerOptions object to the constructor. The minimum required options are two actions - GetReport and DesignerEvent, the values of these options correspond to the names of actions in the controller:

@using Stimulsoft.Report.Mvc;

...

@Html.StiNetCoreDesigner(new StiNetCoreDesignerOptions()
{
	Actions =
	{
		GetReport = "GetReport",
		DesignerEvent = "DesignerEvent"
	}
})

Now we need to add these actions in the controller. The GetReport action loads the dashboard template and returns answer to the client part of the designer using the GetReportResult() static method. In the parameters of this method, the controller and the report object should be passed:

public IActionResult GetReport()
{
	// Create the dashboard object
	var report = StiReport.CreateNewDashboard();

	// Load dashboard template
	report.Load(StiNetCoreHelper.MapPath(this, "Dashboards/DashboardChristmas.mrt"));

	// Return template to the Designer
	return StiNetCoreDesigner.GetReportResult(this, report);
}

The DesignerEvent action handles all the designer events (adding and editing dashboard components, work with the data dictionary, sorting, filtering, zooming, etc.) and returns the answer to the client using the DesignerEventResult() static method:

public IActionResult DesignerEvent()
{
	return StiNetCoreDesigner.DesignerEventResult(this);
}

In the screenshot below you can see the result of the sample code:
