The dashboard you link to can exist in a separate application from the originating dashboard.

To link to another dashboard complete the following steps:

1. Select the visualization you want to link from, and it will highlight with a blue border.
2. In the Configuration panel, select +Add Drilldown.
3. Use the On Click dropdown and choose Link to dashboard.
4. Use the Select an App dropdown and search for the app that maintains your dashboard by filtering the name.
5. Use the Select a Dashboard dropdown and search for the dashboard you want to link to by filtering the name.
6. The following steps are optional.
   1. Verify that the dashboard has the expected permissions. The owner and permissions will appear below the dashboard's title.
   2. View the dashboard to verify you are linking to the expected dashboard.
   3. Select Open in new tab to have the linked dashboard open in a separate tab.
7. Select Save.

When linking from a visualization with data, you must click the actual value in the visualization, not just anywhere, to go to the link.

You can pass token values from one dashboard to another linked dashboard. You can use more than one token. For steps to pass token values, see Documentation:SplunkCloud:DashStudio:tokens in this topic and Setting tokens from search results or search job metadata.

The source code example shows where you set a token's value and its name in the table. In this example, the token's value is row.splunkd.value, and the token's name is token_example.

The URL can be relative, such as coming from a local site, or absolute from an external site. Links that direct outside of the Splunk Platform require token filters to handle tokens with spaces. For more details, see Token filters in the Dashboards and Visualizations manual.

To link to a custom URL, complete the following steps:

1. Select the visualization you want to link from and it will highlight with a blue border.
2. In the Configuration panel, click +Add Drilldown.
3. Use the On Click dropdown and choose Link to custom URL.
4. Provide a relative or absolute URL.
   Note: If you do not provide an https:// address, the generated URL is considered internal to Splunk Enterprise and uses a localhost URL, such as /. If you provide an https:// prefix, such as https://splunk.com, the link directs to that external URL.
5. (Optional) Select Open in new tab to have the linked URL open in a new tab.
6. Select Save.

When linking from a visualization with data, you must select the actual value in the visualization to go to the link. For more details about interactions, see Setting tokens on a visualization click.
