Background
In Maps 1.0 (i.e. Network Atlas), a user can select any icon for a managed entity and add a hyperlink. The hyperlink can be configured with an HTML <a> target Attribute.
However, in Maps 2.0 (i.e Orion Maps) the only supported HTML target attribute is _BLANK.
Workaround
Not Available.
Feature Request
In the BEHAVIOR section, the hyperlink should support all relevant HTML target attributes. The most important HTML Target Attribute in UX design is _SELF.
Attribute Values:
| Value | Description |
| _SELF | Opens the linked document in the same frame as it was clicked. |
| _TOP | Opens the linked document in the full body of the window. |
| _BLANK | Opens the linked document in a new window or tab. |
Use Cases
This feature: Orion Maps: HyperLink For Application, Group, and Node Icons combined with the Orion Maps: Add HTML Target Attribute To Hyperlinks in Behavior Section feature would allow users to create robust dashboards that employ Orion Maps to navigate between views in SolarWinds Orion.
_SELF:
The _SELF HTML target attribute opens a linked view in the same frame as it was clicked. The _SELF attribute mimics the drill-down motion and is essential to create UX workflows in SolarWinds dashboards.
_TOP:
The _TOP HTML target attribute opens the linked view in the full body of the window. The _TOP attribute can be used to create help and pop-up dialog boxes.
_BLANK:
The _BLANK HTML target attribute opens the linked view in a new window or tab.
