  • 1.  Code Page on Dashboard for Report Links

    Posted 10-21-2020 07:39
    Hi everyone, I am trying to create a code page that I embed within my quickbase dashboard so I can have all of my reports neatly organized in one row that is collapsable.  I created a code page as follows:

    <table>
    <tr>
    <td>Financial Reports</td>
    </tr>
    <tr><td><a href="https://elitestudioe.quickbase.com/db/bpqcqx84k?a=q&qid=5">Active Contracts</td></tr>
    </table>

    I created a web site widget and linked to this page.  This is a test, I didnt start playing with formatting yet, etc.  It works fine and I can see the link on my home page.  However, when I click on it, it appears it tries to load within the widget (not my entire quick base app) and nothing shows on the screen....  What am I missing?  Do I need something more in here to allow users to click on this link and get to a report?  Basically trying to create my own report link section in one big widget.

    Try adding this to the end of your URL -  target='_blank'

    So it would end up looking like this:

    <a href="https://elitestudioe.quickbase.com/db/bpqcqx84k?a=q&qid=5 target='_blank'">

    Thanks Blake, I actually did proceed with doing that already and works great.  I was looking to have it open in the same window and not another but some users I am testing this on said they like it better so I guess that is a win win, problem solved and they are happy!
