Is it possible to convert advanced xml to HTML ?

Hi all,

I have created a view with advanced XML because I want to use switcher module.
However, I cannot see any option to convert the view to HTML. I want to convert to html because I want to have flexibility to add components not available in simple xml and advanced xml.
Is this possible to convert advanced xml to HTML?

Regards,
Stevanic

Splunk 6 HTML dashboards aren't related to AdvancedXML, there's no direct conversion.

However, you can use switchers in SimpleXML. Grab the Splunk 6.x Dashboard Examples app from https://apps.splunk.com/app/1603/ and take a look at http://your_host:8000/en-US/app/simple_xml_examples/custom_link_switcher for an example.

Thanks for pointing out the switcher sample in Simple Xml. That's what I need.
