Quicksight Visual Specific URL/Action

Hi Team,

I’m checking if we can implement navigation links or URL connections within our dashboard sheet that would:

  1. Allow users to click a link or make a selection in the top overview table

  2. Automatically direct/guide them to a specific visual element (a detailed table) located at the bottom of the same sheet

  3. Bypass scrolling through intermediate content

Our current dashboard has:

  • A concise overview table at the top

  • A large, detailed drill-down table at the bottom

  • Various analyses and tables in between these elements

We’re exploring if it’s technically possible to create this navigation functionality so users can access detailed information only when they choose to, while keeping the intermediate dashboard content intact and undisturbed.

Please advise if this capability exists and any alternative approaches we might consider.

Thanks, Cindy

Hi @Cindy,

While you can utilize actions to navigate, filter down selected visuals and with URL’s; they don’t quite have the ability to jump you down to a different portion of the same sheet.
But you could certainly achieve this by setting up your detailed drill down table on a separate sheet within the same analysis. That way you could set up a navigation action on your overview table; which will allow users to make a selection and navigate directly to the detailed table (while also setting any filters that may be needed through the use of parameters).

Let us know if you have any additional questions!
