Dashboard Relations

Dashboard relations let you jump from a computer, application, location, event rule or process name in a widget to another dashboard that shows more details about it. The related dashboard opens with the same parameters as the dashboard you came from.

Whenever a widget shows an object as a link with the Related dashboards link icon icon next to it, you can open the Related dashboards menu:

  1. Click the link. You can also right-click it.
  2. In the Related dashboards menu, click the dashboard that you want to open.

The dashboard opens in a new browser tab, with the object (and, where the widget provides it, the time period) already selected.

If no dashboards have been related to that type of object, the menu shows the message “No related dashboards are defined for this entity.”

Guests who view a dashboard through a guest access link can’t use dashboard relations. They see the message “Guests are not allowed to view related dashboards.”

  1. Go to Administration → Dashboard → Relational dashboards. As an administrator, you can also click the Configure dashboard relations icon icon (Configure dashboard relations) in the Related dashboards menu.
  2. For each object type, select the dashboards that the object type should link to:

The selected dashboards appear in the Related dashboards menu for all users.
