Passing URL Parameters

The appearance of the dashboard can be controlled by passing parameters on the Dashboards query string. The parameters that can be passed are:-

  • Hide the Dashboards Header bar (hideheader=true). This is false by default
  • Hide the Main Menu button (hidemenu=true). This is false by default
  • Hide the Home Page (hidehome=true). This is false by default
  • Auto login a user (user=GUID). See Logging in users for more information & examples
  • Show specific dashboards on login (dashids=ID)
  • V6.1 onwards. Auto-Export a specific dashboard direct to PDF (first dashboard only if more than one dashids defined) (export=true)
  • Passing filters into the dashboard to be applied to all dashboards/components (dsfilter={filter values}) See Passing filters to the dashboard for more information
  • To change the default view for dashboards (viewmode=dash). The default setting is fit screen (viewmode=fits)
  • To hide the log out button (hidelogout=true)
  • To hide the tabstrib when only one dashboard is to be displayed (hidetabstrip=true)
 

This would result in a query string that would look similar to:

http://MyIntuitiveDashboards.MyDomain.com/dashboard.html?hideheader=true&hidehome=true&user=GUID&dashids=762&export=true

All of the above can be either passed in as above or can be encrypted & passed to the dashboard. For more information about encrypting the query string see Adding URL encryption.
