Code example using Blox dropdown to select dashboards
I have been searching the web for a couple of days with no success. I need a code example using Blox dropdown to select dashboards. I have 10 regional locations, each will have a set of dashboards. I am able to create and use 10 buttons on a dashboard but it would be cleaner and better if I can use a dropdown to open the url and go to the selected regional dashboard. I am thinking I need to use an Action Set but have not figured out how to make it work with a Blox dropdown or a radio button. I have found dropdown filter examples but have not been able to translate that to calling the action goto url.
Hi jeffreyl ,
Try this blox script:
1. Create blox using below script (replace Dasboard1 URL and Dashboard2 URL with actual URLs):
{ "style": {}, "script": "", "title": "", "titleStyle": [ { "display": "" } ], "showCarousel": true, "carouselAnimation": { "showButtons": false }, "body": [ { "type": "Container" }, { "type": "ColumnSet", "separator": false, "spacing": "default", "columns": [ { "type": "Column", "width": "170px", "items": [ { "type": "TextBlock", "size": "small", "weight": "regular", "wrap": true, "class": "checkboxVal", "text": "Choose Dasbhoard" } ] }, { "type": "Column", "spacing": "none", "width": "175px", "items": [ { "type": "Container", "spacing": "none", "items": [ { "type": "Input.ChoiceSet", "id": "selectVal", "class": "", "displayType": "compact", "value": "", "choices": [ { "title": "Dasboard1", "value": "Dasboard1 URL" }, { "title": "Dashboard2", "value": "Dashboard2 URL" } ] } ] } ] }, { "type": "Column", "spacing": "none", "width": "175px", "items": [ { "type": "Container", "spacing": "none", "items": [ { "type": "ActionSet", "actions": [ { "type": "openDashboardAction", "title": "Open" } ] } ] } ] } ] } ], "actions": [] }2. Create an action 'openDashboardAction' with below script:
dashboardURL = payload.data.selectVal window.open(dashboardURL, '_blank').focus();-Hari
