How to Add a Dashboard as a Widget?
A dashboard can be added as a new widget in a dashboard or widgets library. Choose the Widget Type as Dashboards and click Add Widget.
All the dashboards created in the repository will be listed. Select the dashboard you wish to add as a widget and click Next.
Upload Custom Image as thumbnail for the dashboard
In the next step, users can set a thumbnail image for the widget which will be displayed in the final output. Users can either choose the actual dashboard or upload a custom image as a thumbnail.
By default, the actual dashboard will be set as thumbnail preview image.
Users can select Upload Custom Image option and choose the required image to set as the thumbnail.
Note:
- Only .png and .jpg image formats are supported.
After selecting the thumbnail image, click Next.
The preview of the image will be shown in the next step. Click Save to save the widget.
Now, open the dashboard where the widget is configured, and it will display with the preview image.
Click on the image to navigate to the actual dashboard.
Limitations in adding a Dashboard widget
- In the first step, where the dashboard must be selected, users cannot add a dashboard as a widget to its own dashboard.
- The dashboard (A) cannot be added to another dashboard (B) if the dashboard (B) is already added as a widget to the dashboard (A).
