hello,
I need to launch a new page which contains dashboards and charts from a pull down selection. How can I do that exactly and how can I assign a new view for each field on the pulldown menu?
I asking also if there is a way to construct pull down imbricated like :
section 1---section 1.1
---section 1.2
section 2---section 2.1
---section 2.2
thanks in advance.

You can have $foo$ tokens in the "url" param of the Redirector module. So if the values of the Pulldown options are themselves url's, then this is easily done.

As to getting two levels of hierarchy into a single Pulldown. It can be done but it's often better to break these apart as two pulldowns floated alongside eachother.

If you want to do it anyway, I think you can get the labels right just be fiddling with space chars and/or hyphens. As to how you get two values and two $foo$ tokens coming out at the end, there's a docs page in the Sideview Utils app itself dedicated to this topic. Navigate to

Module Documentation > Form element modules > The Pulldown Module > Pulldown - setting more than one value. You basically pick a separator char, glue the 2+ values together on that separator, and then you use a single ValueSetter downstream. the ValueSetter's "delim" param will break apart the big token for you.
