Dashboard List¶
A Dashboard List is a navigation-type chart used to display dynamic links to other dashboards within the current dashboard. You can configure the list source, including favorite dashboards, frequently viewed dashboards, etc., or add custom ones via keyword and Tag searches. Each time the dashboard loads, this chart re-queries the list, ensuring the displayed results are always up-to-date.
Use Cases¶
- Build a dashboard navigation homepage: Aggregate various monitoring dashboards that the team focuses on into a navigation page, serving as a unified entry point for daily inspections.
- Track key dashboards: Quickly display dashboards you have marked as important via the "My Favorites" group on any dashboard, enabling one-click navigation at any time.
- Aggregate by business dimension: Use Tag filtering or custom grouping to categorize and display dashboards related to the same business line or team, facilitating on-demand viewing.
- Quick access to recently viewed: Automatically list frequently accessed dashboards via the "Frequently Viewed" group, reducing the search path.
Chart Configuration¶
For more details, refer to Chart Configuration.
Title¶
- Chart Name: Set the title for the current chart.
- Display Title: When enabled, the title is shown in the chart area.
List Grouping¶
Select the grouping sources to display in the list. Multiple selections are supported:
- My Favorites: Displays dashboards favorited by the current user.
- Frequently Viewed: Displays dashboards frequently accessed by the current user.
- My Creations: Displays dashboards created by the current user.
- AI Auto-Created: Displays dashboards automatically generated by AI.
- Custom: Manually create a group. Requires configuring a group title and adding dashboards.
When "Custom" is selected, the following configurations need to be added:
- Custom Group Title: Set the display name for this group.
- Select Dashboards: Search for and select specific dashboards via keywords to add them to the current group.
- Tag Filtering: Add dashboards that meet the criteria to the current group by filtering with Tags.
Note
"Select Dashboards" and "Tag Filtering" are independent addition methods, not an AND relationship. If both are configured, dashboards meeting either condition will be added to the group.
-
If the "Search Keywords" input field is empty, all dashboards meeting the Tag conditions will be displayed in the custom group based on the added Tags.
-
If the "Search Keywords" input field has content, when using "Tag Filtering," the keyword input field will be automatically cleared, and Tag filtering will maintain an independent search.
List Settings¶
| Configuration Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Group Internal Sorting | Sets the sorting method for groups within the list. Supports sorting by Latest Created, My Favorites, Frequently Accessed, or Alphabetical Order. |
| Display Limit | Sets the maximum number of dashboards to display per group. If exceeded, a scrollbar will appear within the group. |
| Display Dashboard Tags | Whether to display the Tags associated with dashboards in the list. |
| Display Group Title | Whether to display the group name in the list. |
Jump Settings¶
- Jump Method: Sets the navigation behavior when clicking on a dashboard. Supports Current Page jump or New Tab jump.
- Pass View Variables: When enabled, the current dashboard's view variables are passed to the target dashboard upon navigation.
Time¶
Jump Time Behavior: Controls the time range used by the target dashboard after clicking a dashboard in the list.
- Keep Target Dashboard Time: After navigation, the target dashboard uses its own time settings (using the locked time value if set, otherwise the default value).
- Use Current Dashboard Time: After navigation, the target dashboard's time is overridden by the global time of the current dashboard. Panels within the target dashboard that have individually locked times are not affected.
- Lock Time: Forces the use of a specified time range during navigation, unaffected by the dashboard's time widget.
