Disabling navigation hover UI for viewer users in Sisense
What the Solution Does The RemoveNavigationHoverAndMenu plugin simplifies the Sisense navigation for viewer users by: Hiding the three-dots “more” menu in the left navigation. Hiding the dashboard metadata tooltip that appears on hover. Preventing hover-triggered UI behavior, so menus and tooltips do not activate. Leaving the default navigation fully intact for admins and authors. The plugin automatically detects the user’s base role (prism.user.baseRoleName) and applies these changes only for viewers. It uses scoped JavaScript and CSS to remove the unwanted hover interactions without modifying Sisense core files or affecting navigation performance. How it works: Viewer-only condition: Runs only for viewer users (where prism.user.baseRoleName === "consumer"). Hover interception: Capture-phase event listeners block hover tooltip appearance Scoped CSS: Injects a short style block to hide hover UI elements and remove tooltip styling. Installation: Download RemoveNavigationHoverAndMenu.zip. Extract the folder RemoveNavigationHoverAndMenu into your Sisense plugins directory:/opt/sisense/storage/plugins/Alternatively, upload it through Admin > System Management > File Management to the plugins folder. Refresh dashboards or restart Sisense to activate the plugin. Verification: Log in as a viewer user. Hover over dashboards or folders in the left navigation. Confirm the three-dots menu and metadata tooltip no longer appear. Log in as an admin and confirm the navigation behaves normally. Files included: RemoveNavigationHoverAndMenu/plugin.json RemoveNavigationHoverAndMenu/main.6.js RemoveNavigationHoverAndMenu/README.md Why It’s Useful Simplifying the Sisense interface for viewer users creates a cleaner, more focused environment that emphasizes content rather than controls. By removing hover-based menus and tooltips for viewers while preserving them for admins, this plugin improves usability without compromising functionality. This approach also supports governance and user-experience goals: Governance: Viewers no longer see or interact with features they do not need. Consistency: Admins and authors retain their full toolset for management tasks. Stability: The plugin modifies only the UI layer and requires no changes to data models or access permissions. With this small enhancement, organizations can deliver a more streamlined viewing experience while maintaining full control for those managing dashboards and content. Outcome After installation, viewer users experience a simplified left navigation that shows only essential content. The three-dots menu and dashboard metadata tooltip are removed, and hover-based interactions no longer trigger any UI overlays. Admins and authors retain the complete navigation behavior, ensuring full functionality for management and editing tasks. The result is a cleaner, more predictable interface for viewers and a consistent, role appropriate experience across the Sisense environment.

Overview Companies and organizations often wish to control which Sisense menu options are visible to different role types of users. Sisense administrators or software developers may require menu items such as Edit Script or Embed Code, while business users should potentially see a more streamlined interface with only the essential options visible in the menu. Customizing these menus can be an important part of both governance and usability, ensuring that users are not viewing nonrelevent menu items. Code modifying menu's in Sisense can be present in both widget and dashboard scripts, and plugins. Custom menu items, added by plugins and scripts, can also be removed for the relevant user types. Challenge Removing menu items in Sisense requires intercepting the beforemenu event and filtering items out before the menu is displayed. This can be straightforward for most options, but there are several complexities to account for: Menu items can be identified by different properties (caption, command.title, description, or tooltip). Simply reassigning menuArgs.settings.items to a new array does not always work, since Sisense components and other listeners may hold references to the original array. In some cases, items may be injected into the menu after it is already open. The dashboard co-authoring Hide option is an example of this edge case, requiring a second filtering pass to remove consistently. The requirement was to create a robust framework that could handle these variations, while also supporting conditional filtering based on user type. Sisense exposes the property prism.user.baseRoleName, which identifies the base role of the logged-in user. This allows developers to apply conditional logic when customizing menus. For example, users with the role "super" are administrators who may need access to advanced actions such as Export or Embed Code, while users with the role "consumer" are viewers who should only see a simplified set of options. By checking this property, menu filtering can be adapted to match governance rules and usability needs for each audience. For example, administrators (prism.user.baseRoleName = "super") may retain advanced options, while viewers (prism.user.baseRoleName = "consumer") see a simplified set of actions. Solution A comprehensive framework was developed with the following key techniques: Configuration-driven filtering: Administrators can specify which object properties to inspect for matching strings, and which menu items to hide, making the script flexible and maintainable. In-place mutation of the menu array: Instead of replacing the array, the script updates it in place with splice. This ensures all references across the Sisense application reflect the updated menu. Two-phase filtering: The filter runs immediately during the beforemenu event to catch standard items, and again with setTimeout to handle menu items injected later, such as the Hide option, which is an unusual case. Conditional visibility by user role: By checking prism.user.baseRoleName, the script can apply different filtering rules for administrators and consumers. This ensures the right balance of power and simplicity depending on the user type. Full Implementation /* * Hide specified Sisense menu items at both the dashboard and widget level. * All configuration is defined inside the beforemenu function for clarity */ prism.on("beforemenu", function (event, menuArgs) { // no menu items to process if (!menuArgs?.settings?.items) { return; } /** * Configuration * * fieldsToCheck: choose which object parameters to inspect on each menu item. * Set any field to false to skip it. * * itemsToHide: case-insensitive list of labels to remove from the menu. * Provide readable strings, such as "embed code" or "get url for embedding". */ const configuration = { fieldsToCheck: { caption: true, commandTitle: true, description: true, tooltip: true }, itemsToHide: [ "delete", "duplicate", "export", "edit script", "embed code", "get url for embedding", "simply ask (nlq)", "exploration paths", "widget filters indication", "widget affects dashboard filters", "dashboard settings", "hide widget header", "hide dashboard for non-owners", "featured on mobile app", "show dashboard in the featured dashboards list in the mobile app.", "navver.dashboard_menu_options.restore_dashboard", "switch to administrator view", "share the assistant", "change data source", "hide widget header", "hide" ] }; /** * Prepare a fast lookup set from the configured hide list. * Comparison is case-insensitive and ignores extra whitespace. */ const hiddenLabelSet = new Set( (configuration.itemsToHide || []) .map(formatLabelForComparison) .filter(Boolean) ); /** * Standardize a label for comparison: * - Trim whitespace * - Convert to lowercase * Returns undefined for non-strings or empty values after trimming. */ function formatLabelForComparison(rawValue) { if (typeof rawValue !== "string") { return undefined; } const trimmedLowercase = rawValue.trim().toLowerCase(); return trimmedLowercase.length ? trimmedLowercase : undefined; } /** * Gather all label values from the menu item according to the configuration. * Returns an array of standardized, non-empty strings. */ function getLabelsForMenuItem(menuItem) { const labels = []; if (configuration.fieldsToCheck.caption) { const captionLabel = formatLabelForComparison(menuItem.caption); if (captionLabel) { labels.push(captionLabel); } } if (configuration.fieldsToCheck.commandTitle) { const commandTitleLabel = formatLabelForComparison(menuItem.command?.title); if (commandTitleLabel) { labels.push(commandTitleLabel); } } if (configuration.fieldsToCheck.description) { const descriptionLabel = formatLabelForComparison(menuItem.desc); if (descriptionLabel) { labels.push(descriptionLabel); } } if (configuration.fieldsToCheck.tooltip) { const tooltipLabel = formatLabelForComparison(menuItem.tooltip); if (tooltipLabel) { labels.push(tooltipLabel); } } return labels; } /** * Decide whether a menu item should be hidden. * If any menu item parameter matches an entry in the hidden label set, the item is removed. */ function shouldHideMenuItem(menuItem) { const labels = getLabelsForMenuItem(menuItem); return labels.some(function (label) { return hiddenLabelSet.has(label); }); } /** * Recursively filter menu structures: * - Remove items that match the hide list. * - If an item has children (sub-menu), filter those sub-menus as well. */ function filterMenuItemsRecursively(menuItems) { return (menuItems || []) .filter(function (menuItem) { return !shouldHideMenuItem(menuItem); }) .map(function (menuItem) { if (Array.isArray(menuItem.items)) { menuItem.items = filterMenuItemsRecursively(menuItem.items); } return menuItem; }); } // Apply the filtering to the base array of menu items (function runFilter() { const filteredItems = filterMenuItemsRecursively(menuArgs.settings.items); // replace the contents of the original array so any existing references see the filtered result menuArgs.settings.items.splice(0, menuArgs.settings.items.length, ...filteredItems); })(); // Run the filter again after other beforemenu listeners finish setTimeout(function () { const filteredItems = filterMenuItemsRecursively(menuArgs.settings.items); menuArgs.settings.items.splice(0, menuArgs.settings.items.length, ...filteredItems); }, 0); }); Outcome With this framework, companies and organizations can reliably hide sensitive or unnecessary menu items while keeping the interface clear and consistent for end users. Because it mutates the menu array in place and applies filtering twice, it covers both standard and rare late injected menu items. By using prism.user.baseRoleName as a condition, administrator users can still view all menu items where needed, while viewer or designer level users see only the options relevant to them. This makes the solution comprehensive, flexible, and aligned with the exact organization requirements for menu items.
Add presets to a Blox date filter widget
We have some dashboards that have widgets as filters. One of these is a Blox widget that functions as a date filter, which I created with help from the community here. I recently added presets to the date filter to make it easier and faster to apply date filtering. Create a Blox Widget Paste the script below in the script editor section. { "style": ".blox-slides button:hover{background-color:#014E66 !important;} .date-input-container { position: relative; } .date-input-container input[type='date'] { cursor: pointer; } .date-input-container::before { content: ''; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; z-index: 1; cursor: pointer; } .date-input-container input::-webkit-calendar-picker-indicator { opacity: 0; position: absolute; right: 10px; width: 20px; height: 20px; cursor: pointer; z-index: 2; }", "title": "", "showCarousel": true, "carouselAnimation": { "showButtons": false }, "script": "setTimeout(function() { const fromInput = document.getElementById('SelectVal_from'); const toInput = document.getElementById('SelectVal_to'); function formatDate(date) { const year = date.getFullYear(); const month = String(date.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0'); const day = String(date.getDate()).padStart(2, '0'); return year + '-' + month + '-' + day; } function setDates(fromDate, toDate) { if (fromInput) fromInput.value = formatDate(fromDate); if (toInput) toInput.value = formatDate(toDate); } function getDateRanges() { const today = new Date(); const currentYear = today.getFullYear(); const currentMonth = today.getMonth(); const currentQuarter = Math.floor(currentMonth / 3); return { last30days: { from: new Date(today.getTime() - 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000), to: today }, quarter: { from: new Date(currentYear, currentQuarter * 3, 1), to: new Date(currentYear, (currentQuarter + 1) * 3, 0) }, ytd: { from: new Date(currentYear, 0, 1), to: today }, lastyear: { from: new Date(currentYear - 1, 0, 1), to: new Date(currentYear - 1, 11, 31) } }; } const ranges = getDateRanges(); document.querySelectorAll('[data-filter-type]').forEach(function(btn) { btn.addEventListener('click', function() { const filterType = this.getAttribute('data-filter-type'); if (ranges[filterType]) { setDates(ranges[filterType].from, ranges[filterType].to); } }); }); if (fromInput) { fromInput.addEventListener('click', function(e) { if (e.target.tagName === 'INPUT') { e.target.showPicker ?

Instructions: Create a Bar Chart Add your main Category (ex. 'Company') Add your three required measures: Actual Value: This is the primary metric you are measuring. It's the "what happened" value. (ex. YTD Revenue, Actual Spend, Units Sold) Target Value: This is the goal or benchmark you are comparing against. It's the "what should have happened" value. (ex. Sales Quota, Budget, Last Year's Revenue) Qualitative Value (Forecast): This is a secondary comparative point, often used to show a projection. It's the "what we think will happen" value. (ex. Forecasted Spend, Projected Sales, Pipeline Value) Navigate to the widget's script editor: Paste the script into the widget's script editor and follow instructions: */ widget.on('processresult', function(widget, args) { // ======================================================== // CONFIGURATION // ======================================================== // --- Step 1: Field Names --- // These names MUST EXACTLY MATCH the names in your widget's Values panel. const actualValue_FieldName = 'Actual Value'; const targetValue_FieldName = 'Target'; const qualitative_FieldName = 'Qualitative'; // --- Step 2: Chart Labels --- // These are the clean names that will show up in the legend and tooltips. const actualValue_DisplayName = 'Actual Value'; const targetValue_DisplayName = 'Target'; const qualitative_DisplayName = 'Qualitative'; // Used for the marker line // --- Step 3: Color Palette --- // Define the colors for your chart elements. const color_ActualValue = '#3682ff'; // Blue for the main 'Actual Value' bar. const color_TargetValue_Fill = '#d3d3d3'; // Light gray for the background 'Target' bar. const color_TargetValue_Border = '#a9a9a9'; // Darker gray for the border. // --- EDIT MARKER COLORS HERE --- // Control the colors for the forecast marker based on your goal. // By default, OVER target is red and UNDER is green (good for tracking costs). // To make OVER target green (good for tracking revenue), just swap the color hex codes below. const color_Marker_Over = '#e45c5c'; // Color for when Forecast > Target const color_Marker_Under = '#4dbd33'; // Color for when Forecast < Target Add this directly underneath the script you just customized: if (!args.result || !args.result.series || args.result.series.length === 0) { return; } const result = args.result; const categories = result.categories; // Helper function to read data from your widget. const getDataBySeriesName = (name) => { for (let i = 0; i < result.series.length; i++) { if (result.series[i].name === name) { return result.series[i].data.map(point => typeof point === 'object' ? point.y : point); } } console.warn('Field not found in widget data:', name); return new Array(categories.length).fill(0); }; // --- DATA RETRIEVAL --- const actualValueData = getDataBySeriesName(actualValue_FieldName); const targetValueData = getDataBySeriesName(targetValue_FieldName); const qualitativeData = getDataBySeriesName(qualitative_FieldName); // Clear the default chart series to build our custom one. result.series = []; // --- PLOT OPTIONS --- result.plotOptions = { bar: { stacking: null, grouping: false, pointPadding: 0, groupPadding: 0.25, // Space between each bullet chart. borderWidth: 1, borderRadius: 3, // Rounded corners for the bars. dataLabels: { enabled: false } } }; // --- SERIES CONFIGURATION --- // 1.

Enhance Your Sisense Dashboard with a Search Box for Filters
Navigating filters in Sisense dashboards can be cumbersome for users. To improve user experience, implementing a search box allows for quick access to specific filters, eliminating the need for extensive scrolling. This article provides a straightforward script to integrate a search feature into your dashboard, enhancing functionality and usability. The script includes creating a customizable search input and button, which filters visible items based on user input.Highlight Widget's Info Button
One of the most underused (imo) dashboard functionalities is the widget's info button. Most dashboard designers want to include information/description for a specific Widget, expecting that the viewer will read it! Revising an old script, we enhanced it using some help and tested it on Linux versions, which effectively identifies all the dashboard's widgets that have a Description and highlights them based on the color defined in the script. Here is an example: The script is: // Handle 'widgetready' event to highlight widgets with descriptions dashboard.on('widgetready', function(_, ev) { const { widget } = ev; // Exit early if no widget or no valid description if (!widget || typeof widget.desc !== 'string' || !widget.desc.trim()) return; const highlightColor = 'red'; // Color to highlight the info icon const selector = `widget[widgetid="${widget.oid}"] widget-header .app-icon--general-info-circle`; $(selector).css('color', highlightColor); // Apply the color to the icon }); Hope you will find this helpful!!Pivot Table - Combine values with arrows
Hello Community, Recently I had the thought of combining a value with an arrow (or anything else I suppose!) within a pivot table. After getting inspiration from some links to the community https://community.sisense.com/t5/widget-dashboard-scripts/pivot-and-table-widget-scripting-for-replacing-values-with/ta-p/25842 https://community.sisense.com/t5/add-ons-plug-ins/pivot2-quot-add-image-indicator-to-a-pivot-table-quot-re/ta-p/9077 I mixed them up with some additional help and I ended up with a template script that: Based on the pre-defined targetColumns on a pivot table returns both the value & the arrow (example below) The script is: widget.on('initialized', function (ev, se) { // List of target columns by title var targetColumns = ['']; // add your column names here var colorGreen = 'green'; var colorRed = 'red'; var colorOrange = 'orange'; widget.transformPivot({ type: ['value', 'member'] }, function (metadata, cell) { if (metadata.measure && targetColumns.includes(metadata.measure.title) && metadata.rowIndex !== 0){ var originalValue = cell.value; var numericValue = (originalValue === null || originalValue === '') ? NaN : Number(originalValue); var arrowChar = '━'; // Default arrow var arrowColor = colorOrange; // Default color if (!isNaN(numericValue)) { if (numericValue > 0) { arrowChar = '▲'; arrowColor = colorGreen; } else if (numericValue < 0) { arrowChar = '▼'; arrowColor = colorRed; } else { arrowChar = '━'; arrowColor = colorOrange; } var percentage = (numericValue * 100).toFixed(1) + '%'; cell.content = percentage + ' ' + arrowChar; } else { cell.content = arrowChar; } cell.style.color = arrowColor; } } ); }); Notes: The arrows are included when exporting in PDF Hope you will find this helpful!!
