The most "Splunk way" to do this would be to add navigation elements into the menu at the top of the page. This bar is what I'm talking about modifying:

alt text

You can modify what's displayed there by editing the Navigation Menu XML at
Settings > User Interface > Navigation Menus > default (for appropriate app)

If your Navigation menu currently looks like the one I posted, then the XML will look like this:

<nav search_view="search" color="#65A637">
  <view name="search" default='true' />
  <view name="data_models" />
  <view name="reports" />
  <view name="alerts" />
  <view name="dashboards" />
</nav>

If you have two dashboards named primary_dashboard and secondary_dashboard, you could either add them individually to the navigation menu bar by editing the XML to look like this:

<nav search_view="search" color="#65A637">
  <view name="search" default='true' />
  <view name="data_models" />
  <view name="reports" />
  <view name="alerts" />
  <view name="dashboards" />
  <view name="primary_dashboard" />
  <view name="secondary_dashboard" />
</nav>

Alternately, if you wanted them to be grouped together and have a little drop-down menu from which the user can select either dashboard, you use the <collection> element. So maybe you'd want them both grouped under the heading Most Useful Dashboards, then your code would look like this:

<nav search_view="search" color="#65A637">
  <view name="search" default='true' />
  <view name="data_models" />
  <view name="reports" />
  <view name="alerts" />
  <view name="dashboards" />
  <collection label="Most Useful Dashboards">
    <view name="primary_dashboard" />
    <view name="secondary_dashboard" />
  </collection>
</nav>

yes, if i select an option from drop down it has to go to a new page.

the reason for us to do this is that the current page has too many panels and users have to scroll many times to get to any panels that are below or between.

so idea is to send some of them to a new page.
but we dont want to publish 2 pages, we want to have only 1 main page and then users can choose from drilldown and get redirected to a new page...
