Overview Dashboard (Tiles)
This module extends the web module to add new dashboard overview system.
By default, the tile displays items count of a given model restricted to a given domain.
Optionally, the tile can display the result of a function on a field.
- Function is one of sum, avg, min, max or median.
- Field must be integer or float.
Tile can be:
- Displayed only for a user.
- Global for all users.
- Restricted to some groups.
Note: The tile will be hidden if the current user doesn’t have access to the given model.

- Select a field, a function to apply.
- You can define a specific format. (.format() python syntax)

Roadmap
- Add icons.
- Support client side action (like inbox).
- Restore original Domain + Filter when an action is set.
- Posibility to hide the tile based on a field expression.
- Posibility to set the background color based on a field expression.
