Since the question was brought up during SWUG NY I thought I would post this up.
The problem is how do you organize things when you have a large number of dashboards?
The list gets really long and it can be tedious to have to add them to all the applicable users toolbars.
This is a resource I use to make it so people can quickly find the dashboard they need without having to wade through a long list or clutter up the top menu bars too much.
Add this as a Custom Query resource on your users home page so they can navigate off to wherever else they want to go:
First Box
select top 1 'Enter the name of the view you are looking for.' as Message
from orion.nodes
order by nodeid
select
case when viewgroupname not like '' then (concat(viewgroupname,' - ', v.ViewTitle))
else Viewtitle
end as View
, concat('/Orion/SummaryView.aspx?ViewID=',v.viewid) as [_linkfor_View]
from orion.Views v
where v.viewtype like 'summary'
and (v.viewtitle like '%${SEARCH_STRING}%' or viewgroupname like '%${SEARCH_STRING}%')
order by v.ViewGroupName, v.ViewGroupPosition
This gives you something like this:
