How to Access a ServiceNow Dashboard from Within Another ServiceNow Dashboard in an iFrame

Hello all,

 

I have a dashboard and want to open another dashboard within an iFrame and have it stay within the current dashboard and not open in a new window. I cannot figure out how to do it for Dashboards within ServiceNow and not an external link.

 

  • It would be a new tab on Dashboard 1.
  • New tab that accesses Dashboard 2.
    • Web Content, iFrame (or whatever else is better)
    • Need the iFrame internal to the 2nd ServiceNow Dashboard to open within the tab on the 1st dashboard. 

I figured out how to do this for VTB's, but not other dashboards.

 

Any help you all can offer would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Sheree

ServiceNow doesn’t support embedding one dashboard inside another with an iFrame. Dashboard URLs are blocked from rendering that way. That’s why it works for VTBs (they have embeddable URLs) but not dashboards.

 

If you want Dashboard 2 accessible from Dashboard 1, you can add a link that opens Dashboard 2 directly, or you can add/recreate Dashboard 2’s widgets as a new tab inside Dashboard 1.
