That's an interesting solution, but does require some input from the user. It seems like it would be much better if a list like that existed within the individual user's settings and they could select their default dashboard based on ones available to their role.
We could also utilize code pages to have much more dynamic dashboards, although the limit placed on iFrames has made it so we can't use target="_top". This means we'd have to open a new tab any time we wanted to take the user to another section of Quickbase or even another Dashboard.
This is just a couple of somewhat complicated workarounds for something that should be (and is) standard in most any application of this type. Quickbase is the only system of its kind I'm aware of that doesn't allow per-user dashboards.
Well, admittedly, it's a work-a-round, but in the defence of the work-a-round, if you do want users to be able to properly test in another Role, you may also need to give them different additional permissions in that other Role. So by adding them into the additional Role on the list of users in the app, then you accomplish the Permission side and also accomplish an extra link showing up on their dashboard report dynamically.
