Dashboard dropdown
Hi,
I would like to customize my dashboard and instead of multiple links or tiles (hyperlinked pictures) I would like to make a dropdown menu in the text widget. Since full CSS styling is a huge challenge within the dashboard text widget, I need some help with creating this.
Also, if anyone knows how to style :hover function within dashboard, that would be great.
Thanks.

·2 years ago · EditedHi @grzegorz.regalek.effem.com have you considered to use the Embedded Webpage widget you can find in Collibra Marketplace (search for ‘Widget’ in the Collibra Marketplace)?
This widget offers much more flexibility compared to the Text widget because you can embed CSS, Javascript etc. The downside of the widget is that you need to install it in Collibra as a resource but this also gives you the chance to install separate files like images, CSS, Javascript and so on.
I think the documentation supporting the widget explains how to upload resources into the Collibra DIC. In a nutshell it is done via the Console, you need a “customizations” backup, then in the directories / files generated by the backup you’ll add your resources (HTML, CSS etc.) then you restore the backup. You need a Console Admin role.
In the Embedded Webpage widget you point to your main HTML page. In the configuration field The URL of the webpage to embed You will have something like this:
resources/images/yourwebpage.html
In theory via the Text widget you can do almost all you can do with the Embedded Webpage widget but I always prefer to use the latest as it gives you grater flexibility.
For the CSS question I am not really sure in what you need help. Re the dropdown I cannot type an example here because it would break the message but if you want I can send you an example at your email address.
Maybe you don’t know but we offer dedicated dashboards coaching session where you will have a coach that is expert of this topic and can answer to all your questions.
