Hi,

I have a dashboard with dropdown, listing the logs and upon selection it would display the dashboard based on the selection. But instead of dropdown i would want a display button clicking on which should display the corresponding dashboard. Is it possible to add action buttons on Kibana.

Hello @HariniGajendran -

Which version of the stack are you using? There's a new drilldown feature you might find helpful - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/drilldowns.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/drilldowns.html)

You could use a markdown visualization with a link to another dashboard.

Thanks @mattkime. I m currently using 7.4.2.  
I had tried Markdown which gives a hyperlink, but i m interested in action buttons which gives a better look and feel.

@HariniGajendran

I think you would need to create a custom visualization.
