Add a Button to the HR Agent Workspace Dashboard?

Hi,

Is it possible to add a button inside the dashboards? In the best-case scenario, the button would be displayed on the 'List of items' tab (I’ll have 6 other tabs as well) or maybe somewhere on the 'Cases' dashboard.

The button should generate a list of records that meet the business requirements in a specific PDF template. I also need to use an HTML template to build this document.

 

Right now, I’m only asking whether it is possible to add a 'Generate document' button somewhere there that does this job. The agent clicks the 'Generate document' button, and one document is generated and downloaded.

 

I’ve seen options like print-friendly view or export, but the information needs to be placed into a template document. I assume this requires UI Builder customization, but I’m not an expert in using this tool.

Any ideas on how to achieve it?Screenshot 2026-03-25 110924.png

I don't think so this is feasible

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar thanks for your reply. That's what I thought. 

one more question
Is it possible to add that button here instead of placing it on a dedicated tab? If so, this would require UI Builder customization, but I’m not sure whether it would be a straightforward implementation.
I’m just checking whether there are any other options or workarounds.

Hi @miro2 

No, since this is a dashboard, adding a button here isn’t possible because it involves changes to the core product.
