Dashboard and Widget JavaScript Extensions

Sisense has a built-in JavaScript editor for Widgets and Dashboards.

When code is added to a dashboard/widget via this editor, it is stored with that specific dashboard/widget instance and executed every time that instance is loaded in the UI.

Adding Custom JavaScript to a Dashboard

Enhance Dashboard functionality by adding JavaScript to it in the Sisense web app.

1. Click the Dashboard menu button in the top-right corner of the Dashboard and select Edit Script
2. In the JavaScript editor that opens, you can add and edit your JavaScript code
3. Click Save and refresh your dashboard

The scope in which this code will be executed is injected with a variable called dashboard which provides access to the dashboard instance.

// Dashboard script that prints the dashboard title to console
console.log(dashboard.title);
