Add link in dashboard description

Hi,

I want to add external link in my dashboard description.
I saw similar question, but cant find the correct answer https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Add-link-to-external-site-in-dashboard-description/td-p/252640

I tried adding <html> tag in the dashboard <description> but I got a warning that <description> is not supposed to have a child tag.

EDIT (so that the accepted answer directly correlates to this question):
I want to add link in dashboard description because I want the link to appear under the title, and above the input. If I just add <html> tag under <panel>, then it will appear after input.

You can't put html inside a title element, but you can create a separate html row/panel that sits above the panel you want to have the description and then you can do what you want in that panel, along the lines of

<row> <panel> <html> <a href="www.yoursite.com">Link to your site</a> </html> <panel> </row> <row> <panel> <table> <search> <query> your search here </query> </search> </table> <panel> </row>

Hope this helps

Hi @bowesmana Thank you. Yes, the html tag works under <panel>.

But I want the text to appear in the top, under title, and before the input.

Perhaps I should post another question about that?

Yes you can do that if you move the inputs into their own row/panel like this example

<form> <label>Example Dashboard</label> <description></description> <fieldset submitButton="false"></fieldset> <row> <panel> <html> <h1 style="color:red">A nice big red header</h1> <a href="www.yoursite.com">Link to your site</a> </html> </panel> </row> <row> <panel> <input type="text" token="field1"> <label>Enter search tezt</label> </input> <input type="dropdown" token="choices"> <label>Choices</label> <choice value="c1">Choice 1</choice> <choice value="c2">Choice 2</choice> </input> </panel> </row> <row> <panel> <table> <search> <query> your search here </query> </search> </table> </panel> </row> </form>

Hope this helps
