    Let say you are working on the dashboard extender rule B and you need to call a function defined in the rule A (eg.PLP_SolutionHelper). You have to first of all add the dashboard extender rule A to the reference assemblies of the rule B:

    In the rule B, you then have to:
    ⦁ Create a new "dashboard extender" object
    ⦁ Define the arguments
    ⦁ Pack them into a DashboardExtenderArgs object
    ⦁ Call the desider function and pass the arguments

    This is an example of how the dashboard extender business rule is called from a button:
    {PLP_SolutionHelper}{DeleteRegisterOrRegisterPlan}{tRegisterID=All, deleteType=1}

    This is an example of how it could be transposed to be called from another dashboard extender rule:
