Options

Enter the content for your text panel.

  • Mode - specify Markdown, HTML or Link
  • Content - enter the markdown, HTML, or URL to be displayed

The Link mode can be used to embed any Statseeker report into your dashboards:

  • Run the report from the Console (not the Reporting panel), and copy the URL
  • Paste the URL into the Content field
Note:

  • When supplying HTML content, you can treat the content box as the body tag of your HTML page
  • Links in HTML content should be configured to open in a new tab/window
  • When using Link mode to add external content to your dashboards, the embedded page must use the same protocol (http/https) as the Statseeker server, and must allow embedding (i.e. no X-Frame-Options: sameorigin header)
  • The functionality of any embedded content can be restricted/allowed via the system-wide Text/HTML Preferences in the Manage Dashboards > Preferences tab
  • When using Markdown mode, HTML content will render as plain text, not HTML
