Link panels

edit

You can use Links panels to create links to other dashboards or external websites. When creating links to other dashboards, you have the option to carry the time range, query, and filters to apply over to the linked dashboard. Links to external websites follow the externalUrl.policy settings. Links panels support vertical and horizontal layouts and may be saved to the Library for use in other dashboards.
