Anchor buttons in long pages

Hi, could I please request the option of anchor buttons to take the user to a specified location on the same page?

We have dashboard with lots of charts and pivots, I was hoping to add buttons to the very top which links the user to the desired information.

So the link in image below would be #cashflowbarchart etc etc

This would be a great addition!
You can do this right now, it’s just a bit more complicated and sometimes causes a reload of the page

Step #1: Get an element ID
Open up the developer portal and find the ID of an element on your page (the element which you want to scroll to (if you are not sure, copy the entire element div and ask ChatGPT to find the ID)

Step #2: Add a Button
Add a button at the top of the page which directs them to a URL
Then add the URL of the current page with your ID at the end
e.g if my Id=“XYZ123” and my URL is example.com.app/page1
Then the URL I would enter in the button is example.com.app/page1#XYZ123

Make it one click, and that will bring them to that specific section of the page - hope this helps!

Thanks @fluxomate , yes, its the page refresh that’s causing me a few issues with that method. The pages in question may have 4/5 pivot tables + charts, its about a 10 second page load on some days so not ideal to be refreshing each time.

@garyGHL is it worth putting the chats into different tabs, if there is a natural category?

Hi, we have already do so, currently have 6 tabs for each side of the business, each with the relevant charts/tables.

Its not a big one really, more a nice to have :slight_smile:
