Dashboard Link with Specific Tab

[Kem Azlan]

Hi Spotfire team,

I just want to know whether is there a way to create a Spotfire Dashboard link with a specific tab? For example: http://server_name/spotfire/wp/analysis?file=/folder_name/dashboard_name&[selected tab on dashboard]

Hi Kem,

Yes there is. Please have a look at this community article about configuration blocks:

Look for the part 'URL parameter' where it is explained how you can define the tab to be opened. Also, as I found some differences between browsers when it comes to encoding. Firefox, Edge and Chrome worked perfectly with the %22 encoding for " (in the link: https://spotfire-next.cloud.tibco.com/spotfire/wp/analysis?file=/Samples/Introduction to Spotfire&configurationBlock=SetPage(pageTitle="TabName"));.

Kind regards,

David

Hi David, thanks for the response here. However I tried to set configuration block as above but when I tried to proceed the link, it kept give the error message as below:

Hi David, no worries on above statement. I figured out on the error. The link should be ended with semicolon and single bracket.

Hi Kem,

That was the first thing that came to my mind as well, the semicolon at the end + single bracket.
Good to hear it worked out!

Kind regards,

David
