How to call a dashboard extender function from a Spreadsheet type BR?
Hi,
I have a Spreadsheet BR that creates a tableview and I want a certain dashboard extender function to be triggered when they submit the data from the tableview(spreadsheet)

Here's how I do it:
Create a public class in your Dashboard extender with a/some public methods:Note the namespace, class name, and method name(s) you want to use elsewhere

Now you can code to the class and its methods in your spreadsheet rule. Import the full namespace of the extender rule, and then reference the class by its name. Instantiate it to use its methods:

Hi Robb,
This is gold, thanks a lot.
Do you think I can reference to the MainClass in the Extender Rule rather than ExtraFunctions in your example? I guess that is creating a problem for me since MainClass is also being used in the Spreadsheet rule right?

Reference the rule your MainClass is in and then instantiate and use it.
