Hello there!
Is it possible to create dashboard tabs dynamically based on the response from a REST API call? For example I want to do a REST API call and get a JSON result where the data has different groups (Group 1, Group 2 and so on...). For each group I want to create a dashboard tab. Is this possible? I also want to make a starting page where each group is listed. When you click on a button you get redirected to the corresponding tab.
In addition, I want to make a status bar on the side of each tab which shows the overall status of the system. This status bar should be reused by each dashboard tab. I never found a way to reuse dashboard groups.
Happy to hear your suggestions!

It may be possible but you are really pushing Dashboard beyond its intended use as a simple UI tool.
Consider using something designed for such a job such as uibuilder.
