Alerts: Adding the Dashboard URL

Ceré Rettig
  • Updated

This requires Admin privileges to setup and Builder for implementation.

Problem:

Alerts e-mails by default have a very generic output. Alerts customizations allow for a much more robust message being sent out to the end user. This provides instructions on adding the URL of the dashboard with the active alert so the user can click on the URL link and go directly to the dashboard.

Resolution:

Adding the URL to the custom alert template is a simple process, however it does require that you have a Public Access License (guest user) available to be used for this purpose.

Edit the appropriate template.html and include the following:

Link To Dashboard

http://<Server Name or IP>:<Port>/idashboards/?guestuser=<UserName>&dashID=${DASH_ID}

Save that change and wait for your next scheduled alert to be triggered. In the email received:

Link To Dashboard

http://myservername.com:8085/idashboards/?guestuser=guest&dashID=115

The process above works for dashboard level scheduled alerts. There is no dashboard ID supplied at the chart level alert so the link as it is cannot be used. 

For More Information:

If the above is unable to resolve the issue, then please contact iDashboards Support for further assistance.
