How to rename the Jump to Dashboard (JTD) name in the right-click menu

This article provides guidance on how to customize the name displayed in the right-click menu for the Jump to Dashboard (JTD) feature in Sisense. This is particularly useful for making dashboard names more user-friendly and intuitive.

Step-by-Step Guide

Understanding the JTD Script

The JTD feature allows users to navigate from one dashboard to another by right-clicking on a widget. By default, the dashboard name may appear as a cryptic identifier.
To change this, you can use the prism.jumpToDashboard script with the dashboardIds and caption parameters.

Implementing the Script

Use the following script to rename the dashboard in the right-click menu:

prism.jumpToDashboard(widget, {
    dashboardIds: [
        {id: "your_dashboard_id", caption: "Your Desired Name"}
    ]
});

Replace "your_dashboard_id" with the actual ID of your dashboard.
Replace "Your Desired Name" with the name you want to display.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If the name does not update, ensure that:

The dashboard ID is correct.
The script is correctly implemented in the widget's script editor and doesn’t have syntax errors.
The plugin is enabled and up-to-date.
Ensure that no third-party plugins are conflicting with the JTD plugin. Conflicts can arise if unsupported plugins are installed, as they may interfere with the execution of JavaScript code.

Conclusion

By following the steps outlined above, you can successfully rename the JTD option in the right-click menu to a more user-friendly name. Ensure that all configurations are correct and that there are no conflicts with other plugins.
