Opening a dashboard from within a dashboard

You can open external dashboards by linking them to a symbol contained in your original dashboard. For example: you have a dashboard that displays sales data and you would like to open a dashboard that has a breakdown of the items sold and the sales made by staff. After creating both dashboards, link a symbol from your sales dashboard to your detail dashboard by using the URL property in the Parameters pane.
To create a dashboard link:
  1. Select the symbol in the sales dashboard that you want to use as a link to the detail dashboard.
  2. Enter the URL of the dashboard in the URL field.
    The URL can be either fully qualified or relative. For example:
    • file://C:/PATH/TO/detail.idbd
    • ./detail.idbd

  3. Test your dashboard.
When you run your sales dashboard, clicking the detail link opens the detail dashboard.
