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?------------------------------Nigel Ho------------------------------

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. ------------------------------Adam Keever------------------------------

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.

  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?
