  • 1.  Button/Link on Dashboard to Second Form

    Posted 10-04-2019 03:09
    I have a form linked with a button on the dashboard. I have now created a second form which I would like to link to the dashboard as well for the obvious different action. 

    How can I do that?

    Try this:

    Navigate to your forms page and note the ID of the form of interest:

    Hover over your native add record button on your table, right click, and select 'Copy link address':


    Go to your dashboard settings and add a button and then select URL and paste the URL for the add record button:

    Then add this to the last part of the URL:
    &dfid=10​
    In the above example, the '10' would be the form ID (dfid) of your form.

    Thank you Adam. 

    Works perfectly

    I was assuming that this would be the same way to embed the form as a webpage directly on the dashboard, but that did not work.  Is there anything different about using that URL for a dashboard URL button versus a Dashboard Webpage widget?

    It should work fine, I just tested it. If you plan on embedding it like that you definitely want to add &ifv=0 to the end of the URL, that will make it embed the actual form instead of the entire page(table bar and all).

    You used the exact same link?

    Widget works for me also (with the added &ifv=20 as Austin recommends):

    Is there a piece of your code missing?
