Remarks

Use the BackendOptions method to specify server settings for the client dashboard application.

The code sample below shows how to configure the client: to set the server’s url and pass a custom Authorization header. Note that the Uri value should consist of a base URL where the Web Dashboard’s server side is hosted and a route prefix - a value that is set in the MVC / .NET Core MapDashboardRoute properties.

ASP.NET Core Dashboard

@(Html.DevExpress().Dashboard("dashboardControl1")
    .BackendOptions(options => options.Uri("{baseURL}/api/dashboard").RequestHttpHeaders(headers => { headers.Add("Authorization", "AuthToken123"); }))
