Hey all

Been working with the new Dashboard option and so far I have had a positive experience. One thing that I seem to have lost is the ability to link to a sidesheet record detail like I can in other Interface page.

For example, I have an interface page that is just a list and I am able to open a detail sidesheet from that interface page using a URL like this: 

 

https://airtable.com/apptXXXXXXXXXXXXX/pagXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/recXXXXXXXXXXXXXX?tableId=tblXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

 

Which is great, I can hand out that link and people will go to the interface page and the sidesheet opens for the record.

It looks like I am unable to do that with the new Dashboard page. 

Is that correct? Or is there another way to do that?
Cheers!

 

The URL is definitely different in the new Dashboard but I was able to make it work. https://airtable.com/apptxxxxxxxxxxxx/pagxxxxxxxxxxxxx

with an added '?xxxxx%3Aexpand=x##'

It doesn't look to be directly correlated with tableid that you seem to have in your URL but it's a URL that opens the detail section.

Hey Glen thanks for the reply

Not sure I am following you correctly. What is supposed to go into '?xxxxx%3Aexpand=x##' are those rec or table numbers that go into those x's and #'s?

In my example above, the link points to an interface page that is a List. Once you get into the list page, then the details sidesheet open to that specific record. The nice thing is that I am able to use a formula to create a link to that details sidesheet that I can send out in an email. That way when someone clicks the link in the email it takes them to the right details sidesheet for that specific record.

From what I can tell, I am unable to do that with an interface page using the new Dashboard. My attempts to open a details sidesheet in the Dashboard page does not work like a page that was a List. I am struggling to have a similar link.

I dont think I am missing anything. But maybe its not possible to directly link to the details sidesheet of a specific record on the new Dashboard page?

Cheers!

Ahh I misunderstood. When you said 'new Dashboard' I was thinking the actual Dashboard Interface Type not list. I'm not familiar with that URL string you posted. I can't replicate it in my App. Apologies.

Hope you get your answer.
