Create a Summary Dashboard
You can create a summary dashboard composed of dash link panes each of which links to a specific dashboard as shown in the example below.
You can choose to display the following on a summary Dash Link pane:
- Alternate between displaying a description of the dashboard and a stylized thumbnail
- Alternate between displaying a dashboard description and summary data from a grid, chart, or gauge
- Display only summary data from a Grid, Chart, or Gauge with no alternating description
Create a Summary Dashboard for Linked Dashboards
- Define a Dash Link block on your workspace for each dashboard to which you wish to link.
- Optionally, display summary data on a Dash Link pane:
- Open the dashboard to which you wish to link, and click the Summary tab.
- Using the Data blocks available (Query Data, Managed Data, Grid, Chart, or Gauge blocks) in the Summary tab Toolbox, build a dashboard for the summary information that you wish to display.
NOTE: If you do not define Summary Data for your dashboard, a stylized thumbnail will display for the Dash Link pane.
NOTE: You can use multiple data blocks (Grid, Chart and Gauge) and have the Summary Dashboard pane cycle between these multiple data sets.
- If you wish to display a description for your dashboard link, enter a description in the Description field on the Dashboard tab for the dashboard to which you are linking (as shown below).
NOTE: If you do not enter a Description for the dashboard, then the Dash Link block will only show the summary data.
- Optionally, click the Dashboard Summary Color button to select a color to use as the background color for the Dashboard Link Pane.
- Click Apply to save your changes.
- Repeat steps 2 - 5 for each dashboard to which you wish to link from a Dash Link block.
