There are two ways to create click throughs in MARVELit DASH:
1. Entering a URL into the Chart or Meter Portlets
2. Entering a Link attribute in XML Descriptors
URL Attributes
In the Chart and Meter Portlet - there is a field where a URL can be entered. This field can contain a URL to any site on the internet, an intranet or to another page in DASH.
All pages in DASH have a URL associated with them. If you want to create a page in DASH to link to - follow these steps:
- Create a page using the Portal Site Manager. You may want to make the page hidden by clicking the hidden attribute box. See Adding Panes for further instructions.
- After you create the page - copy the URL for that page. View the page and copy the URL string. An example would look like this - '''http://demo.marvelit.com/jetspeed/portal/Sales/Snapshots.psml'''
- Paste this URL into a Chart or Meter portlet URL field. See Chart Portlet or Meter Portlet for additional information.
