Easily Navigate to Dashboard Widget Data Source

Samuel Mueller

I often have to navigate to the data source of a dashboard widget to make updates, however there is not a direct link to the data source, and sometimes the naming of the source does not make it easy or clear to find. It would be very helpful if there was a button next to data source to "Open Data Source in a New Tab" or something like that to easily navigate to the data source. A button like the highlighted image icon below, and this would be needed for all widget types with a data source.

For lack of a better word, it is annoying to have to click the back button to navigate back to a dashboard after clicking on a visualization that opens to the data source. It would be nice to have the Widget Behavior option to open the data source in a new tab.

A simple and intuitive solution to a challenge I often face as well. This could even be extended to other widgets, such as reports, so that I don’t need to adjust widget behavior to access the underlying resource.

Great idea! Heartily upvoted

Not only to help the creator of the Dashboard, but also when you let others in as Admins to support one of your creations. Things may not be as clear to others coming into support an existing Dashboard, so this would go a long way in helping them navigate to the source files and triage any issues. Thanks for bringing this up @Samuel Mueller.
