Widget interaction - opening in a new tab

tanisha.hutchinson · 02/11/19

I have created some widgets on a dashboard, that when clicked are linked to a source data sheet.

The issue is that these immediately open in the tab being used, meaning you have to navigate back to the dashboard.

Is there a setting where you can click on an interaction widget and it will open the linked item in a new tab?

Hi Tanisha,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment, but it's a great idea!

Have a fantastic week!

Yes, please submit an enhancement request because this is a pain point for us as well.

Hi,

there is a solution for this issue:

Use the URL Link to the smartsheet link instead of direct linking to the smartsheet.

It works great for me.

Joachim,

Great suggestion! I knew that but didn't think of it at the time.

Best,

Andrée

Hey, that is a great suggestion. Annoying workaround on Smartsheet's part but it does work.
