Dashboards & Visualizations

Why am I getting 404 errors trying to drilldown into a form in another dashboard using XML?

I'm using the XML below. I'm trying to allow users to select a field in a panel and use that field to populate a form in another dashboard. I keep receiving a 404 error even when I use the full path(That's not the full path below). What am I doing wrong?

     <![CDATA[/app/search/local/data/ui/views/bounce_rates.xml?form.page=$row.page$=$page$]]>
   </link>
 </drilldown>

It looks like the issue here is related to the url route to your dashboard.

Of note, URL routes do not match 1-for-1 to files on disk.

Couple quick examples:

(1) If the target dashboard is in the same app context as the origin dashboard, you can use the following:

  </drilldown> 
    <link>
      <![CDATA[bounce_rates?form.page=$row.page$]]>
    </link>
  </drilldown> 

(2) If the target dashboard is in a different app context from the origin dashboard, you can use the following:

  </drilldown> 
    <link>
      <![CDATA[/app/search/bounce_rates?form.page=$row.page$]]>
    </link>
  </drilldown>
