Solved: In page menu development

dataisbeautiful · ‎07-05-2024

Hi all

I'm trying to make an in-dashboard menu (not the app top menu). We have a few main dashboards, each links to more specific dashboards. I'd like a menu at the top, something like...

Overview | today | yesterday | this week | last week

Each item has an interaction set to jump to another dashboard. I've created a single value element, set some text and added an interaction. That all works fine, but the "inspect fullscreen refresh" menu keeps poping up in the way of mouse clicks, see screen shot.

a) is there a way to hide this menu for specific elements or in general?

b) any other suggestions on how I might make an in-page menu?

I'm using Dashboard Studio in Grid layout... hopefully the answer isn't "use classic"

Hi @isoutamo @gcusello

I've actually found a different fix to this. Place a transparent reactangle over the top and have the interaction properties set on that. The pop-up menu doesn't show and I can still use the single value to adjust the text shown underneath.

Thanks all for your suggestions!

Hi

another option is use e.g. refresh.link.visible etc. from Shared options

Hi @dataisbeautiful ,

instead a single vaue panel, why you don't try with an html box?

something like this:

<dashboard version="1.1">
  <label>Home Page</label>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <html>
	<h1>IT Infrastructure</h1>
  	<table border="0" cellpadding="10" align="center">
 	<th>
          <tr>
            <td align="center">
              <a href="dashboard1">
              <img style="width:80px;border:0;" src="/static/app/my_app/Windows_logo.png"/>
            </a> 
          </td>
          <td align="center">
            <a href="dashboard2">
              <img style="width:80px;border:0;" src="/static/app/my_app/Linux_logo.png"/>
            </a> 
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td align="center">
            <a href="/app/my_app/dashboard1">
              Windows
            </a> 
          </td>
          <td align="center">
            <a href="/app/my_app/dashboard2">
              Linux
            </a> 
          </td>
        </tr>
      </th>
    </table>
  </html>
  </panel>
</dashboard>

to adapt to your dashboards.

Ciao.
