This add-on is pre-installed on Sisense in Linux environments and its version could be different. The download link is for Sisense on Windows.

The Jump to Dashboard add-on creates shortcuts from a widget in one dashboard to another widget in another dashboard via a new browser tab or a popup window.

The Jump to Dashboard add-on supports charts, pivots and indicators. This add-on is useful for presenting additional information about specific series on demand by jumping across dashboards without the need to present all of the data in a single dashboard.

After you have installed the add-on, you can right-click a value in the widget and jump to the relevant dashboard or depending on your configuration, click the widget to automatically jump to a default dashboard. The target dashboard will be opened considering all the filters affecting widget where you jump from (including dashboard, widget and formula level filters).


Supported Chart Types

Jump to Dashboard works with the following chart types:

  • Pivot
  • Pivot2
  • Pie charts
  • Line charts
  • Area charts
  • Bar charts
  • Column charts
  • Indicators
  • Scatter charts
  • Polar charts

To install the Jump to Dashboard add-on:

  1. Download the attachment.
  2. Extract the .zip folder into the plugins folder. If the folder does not exist, create it prior to extracting the .zip file.
    For V7.1 and earlier: C:Program FilesSisensePrismWebplugins
    For V7.2 and later: C:Program FilesSisenseappplugins
  3. After those files have been unzipped there, you may also have to restart the web server.
  4. Create the new dashboards that you want to jump to. When naming the new dashboard, add the prefix “_drill_” to the title to indicate this is a target dashboard. The default settings define that target dashboards won’t appear to the users in
    the dashboards list, and are accessible only when jumping to them.
  5. Define the target dashboard in a widget. Enter the editing mode of the desired widget, click on the settings icon, and choose the target dashboard from the possible target dashboards created.

  6. Click Apply to save the changes.

Customizing the Jump to Dashboard Add-on:

While the default settings of the Jump to Dashboard add-on do not require any JavaScript configuration, you can change the settings per widget by editing the widget’s script. This allows you to modify the add-ons default behavior such as how to
navigate to your target dashboards or what prefix determines which dashboards can be targets.

Default settings can be changed by editing the widget’s script or from the config file located in the plugin folder:

…Program FilesSisensePrismWebpluginsjumpToDashboardjsconfig.js
When changing the config file, the settings will apply on all widgets using the plugin unless stated otherwise. The definitions in the widget editor, if defined, would override any configurations defined in the config file.

For a full list of all the changes you can make, see the Parameters table below.

To customize the Jump to Dashboard Add-on:

  1. Inside a widget’s edit mode, click on Edit Script.

  2. Paste the code below (after editing the required parameters).
    prism.jumpToDashboard(widget, { :});
  3. Click Save and refresh the widget.
  4. Click Apply.

Parameters

The following table provides a list of parameters you can modify in the configuration JavaScript file.

The code below can be modified Paste the code below (after editing the required parameters):

prism.jumpToDashboard(widget, { :});

When changing few parameters, the below syntax should be used:

prism.jumpToDashboard(widget, { :, :, :});

For example: prism.jumpToDashboard(widget, { displayDashboardsPane:false, displayToolbarRow :false, displayHeaderRow :false});

To remove all setting defined (erasing the script will still keep the previous settings):
