Hi

I have a scenario where we have multiple dashboards in OAC dv and created a homepage/landing page having links of the dashboard using BI.

When the user navigates from the homepage to the respective dashboard, and now wants to go back to the homepage, the functionality couldnt be achieved directly.

So I made a workaround by having image with hyperlink to the homepage on the canvas of the dashboard, this leads to opening the home page in new window which defeats the purpose.

Please let me know if any other alternate workaround is available

    Do you really have dashboards? Or you mean DV workbooks? Is your homepage/landing page a dashboard (a real dashboard) or just another DV workbook? Is that homepage/landing page in DV or in 'classic'?

    @Gianni Ceresa Hi Gianni,

    I meant workbooks are in dv and the homepage dashboard is created in BI classic with links of workbook in dv.

    so when i navigate through the link to the workbook, and once the work is done when I click onto the back button it leads me to homepage of dv and not the landing page dashboard.

    To achieve this I created a image view in the canvas of the workbook and gave the link to homepage which can now act as home button. But when I clink on it , it opens the homepage dashboard in new window. I want it to open in same window

    Connecting all the dots...

    What you are asking is how to have an image in a DV workbook with a link, and when you click that image inside the DV workbook the link should open in the current window/tab and not in a new page.

    Did I understand your need correctly?

    @Gianni Ceresa Yes Gianni, Thats the functionality I need and that link is a dashboard in BI.

    I would say that what the link is doesn't matter much.

    The thing is that if DV doesn't give you any option to set the target (html links generally use "_blank" to open a new window/tab or "_self" to say it should navigate to the link in the current window/tab), there is maybe not much you can do...

    You could try to enter some HTML forcing the target="_self" in the link, but the tool can decide to ignore it because it is built to open links in new pages only. To be fair I didn't look much into those DV components, but these are (I believe) the few options you can try.
