Can any one explain me how to create a button on dash board?

[vikasreddy]

I have created a dash board. On that I have to create a "Button" on that created panel.when I press the button, New window has to be open and it should display some text content.I think it is simple task but I am not able to crack it.

I don't know from where I have to start? can anyone help me in detail steps about this?

Thanks!

Without know more than general items (helpful would be version of Splunk) but any of the 6.x version are alike.

Basic steps would be to use the Dashboard and Form Editor:
Select Add Input here you can select a Text box, Radio Button, Dropdown Box, Checkbox, Multiselect , Time and Submit.
I generally recommend always adding Time and Submit for a basic dashboard. You should be able to do this without having to edit the XML directly, but you can as well. You can have functions perform drill downs on the line clicked.

If that button is not related to a specific search, you would need an HTML panel.

Also see in the Dashboard Examples, the example "Token Links"
