Dashboard has a Pie image. This image has 8 wedges of a pie assembled into a pie shape. I want to be able to click each pie wedge so that it acts like a button to a one of 8 different dashboard Pages. Has anyone done something similar? Thanks for the help.
You can use the area shape element and an image map generator to get coordinates. So here is the prototype; I will only show a few images so you can see that each pie slice references a different URL (seen at the bottom left of each image):
There is a website that can help you identify the coordinates of the pie slices in your chart: https://www.image-map.net/
You upload your image and then create the areas. I used poly and clicked several points on the arc to best fit the poly area to the pie slice. I was not sure if I was on the right track at first so I don't have an image to show all eight pie slices, but I went back and made an image of one slice so you get the idea:
Then you can apply all of your coordinates to the following formula in a rich text formula field (or a code page) changing out the "XXXX" for your realm and DBID and all of the URL's for the pages you want to navigate to:
I'm glad you asked this question Ruby. I planned to work on digital check sheets that would allow an operator to view an image of a complex part and click on a small section of it to navigate to relevant specifications in a check sheet. This will come in handy. I hope you are able to utilize this method.

I know that this is easy on a regular Summary report. I will have to now test if it's possible on a chart!

Thanks Mark. The image we are using is company's icon that is a Pie with different colored pieces. Each piece represents a different part of the project process. I was able to break up the pie into the different wedges. I was trying to figure out how to override the 3 to a row, and rows grid for placement of buttons on a dashboard. I appreciate the help.
And to add, even if I had solved the how to break free of the grid layout on dashboards, I still have no idea how to use the wedges as buttons. Thanks.
