Dashboard Tab Cycle on timer

[Daniel O_Connor]

Hi all,

As more and more business units are receiving custom apps from us, and utilizing Dashboards we make for them, they are now appearing on TV's around the office.

Problem I'm encountering is some of these Dashboards have multiple tabs, but on an idle display, I need to get they cycling through the tabs. I cannot find any native or OOB setting or config that lets me schedule a dashboard to cycle tabs, and reviewing documentation site cannot see anything either.

I know this was possible historically through complex methods using Homepage and UI pages, but this isn't something I want to implement as UI pages is going legacy and Homepage stuff I've already phased out.

Anyone know a way to have Dashboard tabs cycle automatically or on a timer?

Hi Daniel, 

We've used the Revolver Chrome extension to achieve this previously.

Thanks Danielle,

I actually do use that at the moment believe it or not, but that is cycling through tabs in Chrome. I'm talking about actual tabs in a Dashboard within ServiceNow

Yeah, we use multiple browser tabs and each browser tab has a different Dashboard tab open.  I don't think the functionality is available baseline and doing that seemed like the quickest win.

That's pretty clever actually.

I render the Dashboards on TV's from the URL service provides as it trims the borders and navigational menu and looks really clean.

How do you get the URL for a tab specifically?
