Dashboard Link

This widget provides a convenient way to link to other dashboards. It can be configured to open the dashboard in either the same tab or a new tab. The widget also supports custom styling to fit seamlessly into any dashboard design.

The widget uses the dashboard name to create a direct link. If the dashboard is renamed, the widget will try to link to it by its ID.

Widget setting

The following image shows an example of a widget setting.

It is possible to customize the widget settings from the inspector panel (in edit mode), as shown below:

Input value	Description
Dashboard Default Option	Select the default dashboard to link to
Hide Dropdown Selection	Boolean to decide if dropdown is visible or not
Open on a New Tab	Boolean to decide if the link opens in a new tab
Text for Button	Text to display on the button
Custom Dropdown CSS	Write custom CSS for the dropdown. The syntax is the same as standard CSS used in HTML files
Custom Button CSS	Write custom CSS for the button. The syntax is the same as standard CSS used in HTML files
Custom Widget CSS	Write custom CSS for the widget container. The syntax is the same as standard CSS used in HTML files

Once the widget is added, you can select the default dashboard the link should point to.

The widget also provides advanced styling options to customize the appearance of the dropdown and button.

A note on Shared dashboards

While the widget will show up on the dashboard for all users, there are a few things to consider:

The dropdown will only show dashboards that are owned by the logged in user, it is therefore recommended to hide the dropdown for shared dashboards.
If the dashboard set as default also happens to be shared with a user, they can use the link to access it directly.
If the dashboard is not shared with the user, the user will see a message indicating that they do not have access to the dashboard.
