Tables and Symbols as Dashboard Links

 

In previous product versions, users could configure a charts widget's behavior to be "link", so when a user selected a chart element they would be taken to a new dashboard, filtered to that element.

 

Symbols and tables can now also have these links. This gives dashboard designers more navigation options. When following one of these links, any runtime filters will persist, applying to the new dashboard.

 

Tables are configured similarly to charts. In edit mode, select the widget and go to the Widget Settings panel. In the Behavior section, choose the link option, then fill the Target field with the link name of your target dashboard. Choose a NavigationColumn. The navigation column determines the filter that gets added to the new page – the chosen column will be filtered on the value of that column in the selected row.

 

Symbols simply have a Target field on the Widget Settings panel. Clicking or tapping anywhere on the symbol will take you to the target dashboard.

 

See Share Dashboard Name, for an easier way to get the right name to put in the target field for any of these links.
