Is it possible to add a reference from a dashboard to the analysis used to create this dashboard?
Hello @Handelma , welcome the QuickSight community!
What type of refence are you looking for? For example, do you want the analysis id to be on the dashboard?
Lets say I am looking at my dashboard or another dashboard. I should be able to see the name of the analysis that was used to create this dashboard. (A link to it would be even better)
Hey @Handelma
Because the analysis and build process is not available to all users there is no way to show it via the console.
To get around this you could copy/paste the link into a calculated field, apply that calc field to a a table and in the properties menu of the table visual go to “Field Styling” and turn that field into a hyperlink. Anyone with access to the analysis would be able to open it if they are logged into QuickSight.
One note of caution, anyone you call give ownership permissions to an analysis can make and publish changes to the dashboard that would affect other users.
I am aware about the permission constraint, I don’t think anyone should be able to edit the analysis. But why is it not possible to just show “You are missing permissions for this Analysis”.. If people can at least see the owners and the analysis name that would be very helpful
Hello @Handelma
I can mark this as a feature request for the QuickSight team.
In the mean time, I would recommend adding a text box visual that shows the owner of the dashboard so that users have a person to reach out to if they need help.
