custom entity in side panel

[steveco]

Hi, how can I put in the side panel an custom entity? From layout i can add my entity in bottom panel, but not in side panel.

Only certain type of Entity type can be put on side panels: Event type only.

ok, but even via code is there any way to get the contents of the bottom panel to be displayed in the side panel?

If you know code, of course you can. Can't help you though, out of my skill level.

You can probably do it with what call Custom View https://docs.espocrm.com/development/custom-views/

Hi,

If you don't mind coding, I just posted a tutorial on displaying custom entities in the side panel.

You can check the code and adapt for your purposes.

If viewing data is sufficient, an alternative might be to use a Report Panel
In Reports create a report then
In Report Panel, choose the Entity you want the report to show up in

Had been very useful for us and can avoid creating a very long page
