How to display an input only for a specific tab in your dashboard ?

Ombessam — Fri, 21 Mar 2025 10:42:59 GMT

Hello guys,

I have a dashboard with two tabs. I've added a dropdown input and I'm going to add more inputs. But I want to display input only for a specific tab. In my case, I want for example the dropdown input to be displayed only when Inventory tab is active. The dropdown input should disappear when I click Sales tab.

Can anyone help me how to achieve this ? Thanks a lot

Are you using Classic or Studio?

Please share your source code for your dashboard (in a codeblock </>)

Hi @ITWhisperer I'm using dashboard studio. Here is my source code

Hi @Ombessam

If you click on your input, then in the panel on the right click the Display dropdown and select "In Canvas"

You can then move it around inside a single tab.

Please let me know how you get on and consider adding karma to this or any other answer if it has helped.
