Can the dashboard selector drop-down be customized?

Jerry Casey

A pet peeve of mine is the behavior of the Dashboard selector. When opened, all of the previously opened dashboards are expanded, and to see the bottom of the list you either have to close each one or use the clunky down arrow to work your way down one line at a time. Can this be changed?

Hi @Jerry Casey As a workaround could you please follow the below approach.

From the dashboards menu ,collapse all dashboards and logout ,login back and see if the state is saved.After login you would see minimized menu ,then please scroll down to the interested dashboard .

or use favorites options to easily access your favorite dashboard from favorties link.

Solution mentioned was

The dashboard folders displayed in the dashboards drop down menu uses a certain amount of space and the dashboard folders before that limit will be expanded by default. It is a designed behavior.

To further enhance the experience ,kindly please raise idea request

Hi Ram,
Thanks for the quick reply. That closed state you describe only persists if I close them all before logging out each time. I work in many dashboards all day, so this is a step I'd avoid, if possible. If we had a smooth scroll, rather than the one-line-at-a-time arrow button, it would be a lot better. The Favorites suggestion is a good one for users that only frequent a few pages, but that's not my situation.

Thanks again, Ram. Clearly, I'm not the first to find this annoying.
