how to link a UI action to a dashboard?

[patricklatella]

hi community, 

is it possible to use a UI Action form button to link the user to a dashboard, and in the same window?

thanks!

Yes. Thats odd. Is it the same for other dashboards as well?

I figured out what it's going, it's linking to whatever page I have set as my "homepage"...my Home link (see screenshot)

but when I try to set my homepage to my desired dashboard, it's not a selection I can make...is there a way to set my dashboard as my "home" page?

[patricklatella]

ok I figured something out.  In my personal settings (see below), I had my "Home" set to Homepages.  After I changed it to "Dashboards", this script worked!

gs.setRedirect('/nav_to_do?uri=/$pa_dashboard.do?sysparm_dashboard=00701c67db6c1b803c6873e1ba9619ac');

I wonder though if you know a way to override the user's setting here so that it always goes to the specified dashboard?

Hi Sanjiv,

wanted to follow up that this solution worked for this requirement...if you want to copy and paste, and then reply again I'll mark your answer correct.

Script was

gs.setRedirect('/nav_to_do?uri=/$pa_dashboard.do?sysparm_dashboard=00701c67db6c1b803c6873e1ba9619ac');

AND

personal preference for the user had to be set to "Dashboards" for their home page preference.

thanks as always for your help!  Patrick

Please use below script

gs.setRedirect('/nav_to_do?uri=/$pa_dashboard.do?sysparm_dashboard=00701c67db6c1b803c6873e1ba9619ac');

personal preference for the user had to be set to "Dashboards" for their home page preference.
