Is it possible to create a tabbed dashboard? This would essentially combine two or more dashboards within a single dashboard, viewable by selecting the tabbed navigation.

Hadn’t thought of this but there’s a few cases where this kind of feature could possibly be useful in our company!

According to my knowledge, I don’t think so. Only option is provide links to open a another look/dashboard in a new window. Hope they’ll have one in the next releases.

I think the new Story feature in Looker 7 might help with this. Heard it at the conference last week.

I really wish that’s a feature!
For now, we’re using this workaround :
Added a line of icons to the left using HTML in text boxes, and hyperlinked them to relevant dashboards.

@krishpotluri do you have any documentation on how to create those icons and links?

I don’t have any documentation but here is the code snippet:
<p align="center">
<a href="your dashboard URL" >
<img border="0" alt="altText" src=" your image URL"
height="55" width="60">
</a>
</p>
<p align="center"> <i>
<font size = "2">
Your Title
</f>
</i></p>
I hosted my icons on cloud storage and used public URLs.
Tweak this HTML a little bit according to your requirement and you should have this working. ��

What Looker version are you using? I’m having trouble seeing any icons show up despite hosting on google drive with public URLs.

Just an offhand guess, but oftentimes google drive links aren’t actually to the raw image, but rather to a google drive page that has the image and a space for comments, sharing, etc— When embedded in HTML that won’t actually display the image. You could try testing with something like imgur just to see if it’s a google drive specific issue.
You’re right. @izzymiller Thanks for clarifying that ��
@simone_b For security and maintenance reasons, I used my company’s Google Cloud Storage (created a new bucket) to host the images.

Hi @simone_b
Could you please point me to which Story feature you’ve referred to now that we are deep in V7?
Many Thanks,

This would be really helpful in putting together a few dashboards in one place.
how are you passing the values to the filter of the linked dashboards?
Rushit,
You can do that using filter expressions within URLs. Please explore the following to know more:

Howdy, I am trying to add a hard-coded filter to the html parameter I have written for a dimension. Currently, I have the following (to allow me to drill to a look via the dimension and apply a filter to said look with the dimension’s value): dimension: dimension_1 { type: string sql: ${TABLE}.dimension_1 html: {{ value }} ;; } I would like to add another hard-coded filter (e.g. is greater than or equal to 10) on a measure (t…

Background on the URL In Looker pre-3.18, the url is a long list of parameters which includes the fields, filters, filter values, pivots, row limits, column limits, total settings, row total settings, and sorts. In Looker 3.18 and later the url is hashed and stored in a slug, which is used to generate the query. No matter the version, the following parameters can be used to generate queries. Parameters and How to Use Them Important: Any field in the pivots or sorts list must also reside in th…

How can we get the dashboard within the same page and still have side menu?
Or did you create the same side menu in all the dashboard ?

@krishpotluri I know this is a bit old. I am new in looker and I am looking to replicate what you have shown but I have not been able to. How can we recreate it? AS I don’t see a way to do it. DO yu added the code in the model? Could you expand on how to do it? (where to add that code in the look) as there is no documentation whatsoever anywere.
add that code to a text tile in a dashboard:

Hi Iant, Thanks for the reply. I was hoping it to be a different answer, because this approach would need you to add the tiles in every single dashboard you have a link on, correct?, in any case as a workaround for a one time thing it may work.
In any case thanks, and lets hope this becomes a new feature, like a template to embedd local dashboards.
