Widgets for different sections of the Wave App

[n-srinidhi]

Hi!I have a wave dashboard style web app successfully deployed to production. Is it possible to have widgets for different sections of the Wave App? Like how we have widgets for Android or IOS etc. For example, I have two sections-Home Page and Insights which are as two separate tabs using ui.tabs() component. Is it possible for me to have a Home Page widget and an insights widget to directly view the different sections?

Can you maybe add some screenshots to better show what you want to achieve? I am not sure after reading the ticket.

Where do you want the widgets to be? I thought we are talking about having a page in a Wave app with widgets section that will take the user to the corresponding part of the app. Or did I get it wrong?

So the setup is such that we have a wave app, hosted live mapped to a domain. This wave app is being absorbed as an IFrame into another existing dashboard. So, they would like widgets within their dashboard to the specific sections within the wave app i have built, as shared in the screenshot images above.

It's clear now. In that case, the wrapping dashboard needs to build those widgets and simply route to the sections of your wave app on click via hash routing.

Will adding hash routing impact the existing to and fro navigation happening via ui.tabs() in my dashboard?

You need to make your tabs work with hash routing in order to be linkable - navigating to a link opens the corresponding tab.
