As part of a project we're working on, we want to define a dashboard in advanced XML based on user input (the built in dashboard tools don't meet our needs, unfortunately, we need the dashboard to have some special behaviors and conform to a specific template). Ultimately, we want to have an app that lets the user define one of these dashboards themselves from a form, rather than building them by hand, but that's where we've run into a bit of a problem. We've been looking at creating a python command that will take the form data and build the XML dashboard on the server side, but I'm having trouble finding documentation on that aside from the commands.conf documentation.
So I have two questions. First, is it possible to call a python script on the serverside from the client and pass inputs to it? Secondly, is there any documentation on this aside from the commands.conf documentation?
