    I'd love a tutorial on making a custom listview dashlet.

    I can easily add a listview dashlet for any single module (e.g. Accounts) to the home page, but I'd like to be able to make a custom listview dashlet that lists records from multiple modules in a single list (e.g. Tasks, Meetings, Calls, Emails). The list should look and behave just like the out-of-box listview dashlets do with pagination, filtering, sorting etc.

    Is there a simple way of leveraging the existing listview dashlets for something like this? The potential solutions I've seen so far are to create custom module with custom API endpoints that actually return data from multiple modules or to replicate much of the out-of-box listview dashlet functionality in a custom dashlet.

    Thanks!
