Button in Modern Dashboards

There is no built-in method to do what you describe and would like to know more about your use case. If it were possible to add such a button, where would you position it and how would it look? Would this button be configurable and available in the widget drawer in the same way as other widgets?

Hi Tony,

Now you're talking!  I didn't think of it as a widget, but that would actually be a very good idea.  I'd like to start with a standard HTML button and style it out from there (size, font, colour etc).  The position can be handled by positioning the widget on the page where you want it to be;  just like all the other widgets.

Obviously, I might not want too large a widget, so allow me to make it smaller than the normal widget.

And while you're at it, why not design a whole set of HTML UI widgets.  For instance, I'd like to group a set of widgets together and draw a border around them with a specified background colour.  And I want to style the border (dotted, dashed, width, corners etc).  And I want a chocolate milkshake.

This is quite a rabbit hole you sent me down :-)

Take care,

If it helps any, you can add a link to any Modern Dashboard to the global nav in the same way this Branch Office Summary was added to the online demo. 

You can totally "cheat" with the Table Widget and build a list of links.

SELECT DISTINCT 'Events' AS [ClickableLink]
     , '/orion/netperfmon/events.aspx' AS [_LinkFor_ClickableLink]
     , 3 AS [SortOrder]
FROM Orion.Nodes

UNION

(
     SELECT DISTINCT 'Advanced Configs' AS [ClickableLink]
          , '/orion/admin/advancedconfiguration/global.aspx' AS [_LinkFor_ClickableLink]
          , 1 AS [SortOrder]
     FROM Orion.Nodes
     )

UNION

(
     SELECT DISTINCT 'Message Center' AS [ClickableLink]
          , '/orion/netperfmon/orionmessages.aspx' AS [_LinkFor_ClickableLink]
          , 2 AS [SortOrder]
     FROM Orion.Nodes
     )

And they say cheaters never win... 

Mate, whatever they're paying you, it's not enough!

Perhaps a lab on SW cheats?  I'm sure I'm not the only one that would need this.

This sounds like a shadow job offer.  We should talk.

But in all seriousness, I talked about some of this in Lab 85, 89 and 91.  We also talked about it on a recent THWACK Livecast (An IT Journey to Monitoring Glory: Session Three).

An easy and elegant solution.
