How to Implement Linkable Text in a Widget (Linux)

Introduction

This article provides a guide on implementing linkable text to navigate to another dashboard in Sisense. The goal is to enable users to access a linked dashboard by clicking on a text element rather than interacting with a widget. This serves as a workaround for the default functionality, which typically requires a widget click (using Jump to Dashboard with native widgets).

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Using Text Widget:
• Use the direct link to the desired dashboard. This method allows users to be redirected directly to the dashboard upon clicking the text link. For example, you can add a hyperlink to the Text Widget. Prefer refer to this guide: Text Widget Documentation.
2. Using BloX:

• Utilize the BloX widget to create a button that simulates the appearance and position of text within your design using the Action Button feature. This approach enables users to open the dashboard by clicking the button. Please follow this guide for reference: Creating Action Buttons.
• If you need to apply filters, configure the BloX widget to perform the Jump to Dashboard (JTD) action. For further instructions on setting up BloX with JTD, refer to this community article on using Jump to Dashboard in a BloX widget.

Conclusion

Implementing linkable text in a widget provides a seamless navigation experience in Sisense, bypassing the need for widget interactions. Whether using a Text Widget for direct links or leveraging BloX for more customization, these methods allow users to efficiently jump between dashboards.
