Dashboard URL is giving an error

Hi Team,

 

We have non admin users facing issue after upgrade from Xanadu to Yokohama the below URL used to work before for the user but not now.

Instance namenow/nav/ui/classic/params/target/%2F%24pa_dashboards_overview.do%3Fsysparm_border%3Dtrue

 

now giving error as {{ setEmptySearchResultMessage(); }}.

No issue for same user in dev and test but can be seen in prod . If we reload the form it is working fine and observed after Reload 

 

instance name /

now/nav/ui/classic/params/target/%24pa_dashboards_overview.do%3Fsysparm_border%3Dtrue.

 

The only difference observed is %2F% is available in first instance.

 

Can someone suggest what may be the rootcause ?

Go to System Definition -> Plugins and check for any updates available for plugins Platform Analytics, UI builder and Data Visualization components. If yes, update it to latest version, clear the cache using /cache.do, logout and login again.

 

I have seen random issues happening when plugins are outdated and updating it helps to fix random unexpected behavior.

 

If this helped to answer your query, please mark it helpful & accept the solution.

Hi @Pooja P ,

This seems related to URL encoding changes after the Yokohama upgrade. The issue occurs because %2F (which represents “/”) is being handled differently, causing the page to fail to load correctly for non-admin users.

After reload, the URL is interpreted without %2F, which is why it works fine.

You can refer to these discussions — they explain similar behavior and possible fixes:
🔗 URL encoding changing “%2F” to “/”
🔗 UI Action – remove the %2F in URL
