About the Button Widget

The button widget lets you add a button to your dashboard that can link anywhere you want. For example, you could link to Qualtrics surveys to gather feedback, or link company resources, like help articles and brand guidelines.

All hyperlinks in button widgets will open in a new tab.

Qtip: The button widget is great for hyperlinking resources. However, if you want to create a button that acts as a dashboard filter, you should check out the selector widget instead.
