Display widgets on multiple dashboard tabs

You can display a widget on multiple views of a dashboard.

A widget that is placed on multiple tabs can be used for filtering other widgets and for triggering selection events across multiple tabs. At the same time, the global placed widget can be filtered and triggered by other widgets. If a global widget is selected (for example, if you click a data point of a line chart), the selection is shown on all tabs on which the widget is placed. The dependent filters and actions are triggered for the entire dashboard.

The option is only available for dashboards that use the fixed grid work space.

On each tab, the widget has the same features such as position, size, configuration and filter conditions etc., except for the widget layering. See Move widgets to the foreground or background.

Procedure

  1. Create a dashboard or open a dashboard in the dashboard editor.
  2. Click a widget. The relevant properties dialog is displayed.
  3. Click More options.
  4. Click Select tabs and select the tabs on which the widget should be placed.

    Before you can display a widget on several views, you must first add one or more tabs. See Add dashboard tabs for details.

  5. To remove a widget from a tab, deselect the relevant tab in the Select tabs menu.

    You cannot remove a widget from the currently activated tab.

  6. To delete a widget click Delete in the pop-up menu.

    If you delete a widget on a tab, the widget is deleted on all tabs on which it is used.

The widget is placed on several tabs and displayed on the corresponding dashboard tabs.

You can use an action defined in dashboard view mode. See Use dashboards in view mode.
