Deep link to bring up interactive dashboard view with pre-selected records?

[Marc_Dillon]

One can write a deep link expression to a certain record (linktorow), or a deep link expression to a certain dashboard view (linktoview), but can they be combined so that a certain record is already selected in the targeted dashboard view? If not, you can change this thread to a feature request.

A possible workaround, pointing LINKTOFILTEREDVIEW() to the dashboard view. But does the context of the condition work on records of the first element of the dashboard?

It sounds this is more likely a feature request

HI @Marc_Dillon Is this a possible solution for you?

@Jason_Spicer Hi Jason, based on your description, I believe you will need to use a deep link. However, since there’s no built-in expression for this purpose right now, you will need to manually create the link. If you use the link in a navigate action, its overall format should be something like this: MyApp-123#view=DashboardView&table=TableName&row=RowKey To manually construct the link, you can use the CONCATENATE expression: CONCATENATE(“MyApp-123#view=DashboardView&table=TableName&row=”,…

Maybe. I did not consider custom created URL deeplinks. I’ll check it out. Thanks!

Hello,
I have recently found myself trying to accomplish this. The two methods I’ve tried are:

1. Using LINKTOROW([KEY COLUMN], “DASHBOARD VIEW”)
2. Using the deep link CONCATENATE(“MyApp-123#view=DashboardView&table=TableName&row=”, ENCODEURL([KeyColumn]))

Both attempts give the same results for me. I have managed to navigate to the correct record of the dashboard, however once I am directed to the dashboard view I am no longer able to click between records and view it interactively like it normally is.

Any ideas as to why this might be happening?

Hi @Harry , thank you very much for this Post. This deeplink is working perfect. My setup is: Open a Form Save Event: Action with Deep Link This will open the Dashboard view with the Row preselected, that I just added via the Form. BUT: You than can not select any other row in the dashboard view. It seems like it’s freezing the one row given in the Deep Link. Is there any workaround?

Potentially you can achieve using Google Map API - URLs.

Google Developers

Developer Guide  |  Maps URLs  |  Google Developers

Maps URLs provide a universal URL scheme to launch Google Maps from any platform.

Depending on how you would capture the data for Point A (origin) and Point B (destination) dynamically within Appsheet, but it should be doable.

Since I’ve been thinking about this request recently trying to help out in another thread, I came up with a syntax for an expression that I think could work here.

LINKTODASHBOARD( view-name, table, row_key [, table, row_key]... )

As there can be one or more Tables represented in an interactive dashboard, and you would need to specify exactly which records in each Table to be selected.
