Here is a slightly different version with jQuery.

require([
 'underscore',
 'jquery',
 'splunkjs/mvc',
 'splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!'], function (_, $, mvc) {
    var objEditMenu=$("div.dashboard-header-editmenu");
    if (objEditMenu!==undefined){
        $('<a target="_blank" class="btn edit-btn anchor-right" style="float: right;margin-right: 10px;" href="https://google.com">Google</a>').insertAfter('div.dashboard-header-editmenu');
    };
});

Hi,

create a example.js file at app_name/appserver/static location, and add the following code,

require([
 "splunkjs/mvc",
 "splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!"
 ], function(mvc) {

    var x = document.getElementsByClassName("dashboard-view-controls");
    var y = "<a class=\"btn\" href=\"https://www.google.com\" target=\"_blank\">Extra Button</a>\n";
    x[0].innerHTML = y + x[0].innerHTML;

 });

Include this script on your dashboard XML and it's done - <dashboard script="example.js">
You can change values in var y according to your requirement.

Please Upvote & Accept the answer if it helps.

happy splunking......!! 🙂

This works well, but in my case it creates an undesired effect: the Export button on the right side of the Edit button stops working.
