Adding links in the widget settings
Updated over 2 months ago

On a dashboard, you can add a direct link to any resource or entity. For example, you can insert a link to your website, social media page, or another DataTile dashboard with additional data.

  1. A link can be added to a text widget, which does not necessarily have to contain any text;

  2. A link can be added to an image widget.

The entire widget will function as an active zone, and clicking on it in VIEW mode will trigger a redirection.

How to insert a link to a widget

Link placement

  • Open a dashboard in EDIT mode and add a text/image widget;

  • Adjust the widget's position, size, and color, you can also add some text to a text widget;

  • Select the widget and find the input field for the link in the widget settings panel;

  • Insert the link you need;

Internal links to Tabs & Dashboards

For text widgets, in addition to regular links, you can add an internal link to another tab or dashboard located on the same server. To add an internal link:

  • Select the entity from the list of suggestions. The selected entity will replace the link input field;
