Manual dashboard links

You can manually create dashboard links, or amend links which were created with the Create Dashboard Link option.

For Infor BI Dashboards links, you can:

  • Specify a project. If a start screen has been specified, it is displayed. Otherwise, a blank dashboard is displayed. The user must sign in manually.
    http://localhost/Dashboards/api/repository/project
  • Display a specific dashboard. The user must sign in manually.
    http://localhost/Dashboards/api/repository/project/dashboard?name=InforDemo
  • Specify a project, a dashboard, and credentials to sign in the user automatically.
    Note: Automatic sign-in works only with the Basic authentication enabled.
    http://localhost/Dashboards/api/repository/project/dashboard?name=CommsDemo&showheader=false&username=DemoUser&password=DemoPassword
  • Specify parameters of the current view.

    This example specifies:

    • connections and their values, respectively: Customer, Measure, Product
    • a widget with ID 3939fd55-e408-4cf6-987b-50a3eb63afdb and the unconnected parameter GlobalVariables.Measure
    http://localhost/Dashboards/api/repository/project/dashboard?name=AssociativeSalesAnalysis&connections=Customer*%5BCUSTOMER%5D.%5BCustomers%20by%20region%5D.%5B1%5D'Measure*%5BMEASURE_SALES%5D.%5BNet%20amount/revenue%5D.%5B1%5D'Product*%5BPRODUCT%5D.%5BProducts%20by%20item%20group%5D.%5B1%5D'&widgets =3939fd55-e408-4cf6-987b-50a3eb63afdb~GlobalVariables.Measure*%5BMEASURE_SALES%5D.%5BNet%20amount/revenue%5D.%5B1%5D
