Buttons on Dashboard

Question

I just figured out how to create links on the dashboard that will take me to views (hidden under the green icon). How do I make the links into buttons instead of text links? Thanks!

I’ll let you in on a trick quickly.

You can add workflow buttons on your dashboard (look for the widget), if you right click and press “Inspect Element” one of the workflow buttons you can find a line of code you can add to your dashboard to simulate a button (see below):

In that case, what I would put in my dashboard is this (change the span to an anchor tag so it’s a link):

<a class="spa-button btn advanced btn-warning db ha icon-position-left" href="google.com">Some Text</a>

There are other ways to add buttons, but these involve a fair amount of customisation.
