Navigation

A bar of dashboards to go between, on the grid or docked along an edge.

Official, in the community Tiledash’s own, as @tiledash/navigation. It’s in every account’s widget picker, nothing to install, and gets better by itself. About the community

Fits
Any dashboard: it isn’t tied to one device
Size
12 × 1 tiles, from 2 × 0.5 to 12 × 6

Use it to move between a handful of dashboards in one tap, like the tab bar of a phone app: Home, the living room, upstairs, energy and the cameras. Each dashboard shows its icon and name, and the one on screen is marked.

Put it on the grid like any tile, or dock it along the top, bottom, left or right of the dashboard under Where, where it stays while the tiles scroll. Docked on a side, or as a tall narrow tile, it is a column; otherwise a row. On a phone a bar docked on a side goes to the bottom. While you edit, a docked bar sits on the grid, so you can set it up and move it.

To use the same bar on other dashboards, choose Copy to other dashboards… in its menu while editing: each dashboard you tick gets its own copy. On a wall panel the bar turns the panel to its pages, and a dashboard that isn’t one of them opens as a popup. A share link shows one dashboard, so it leaves the bar out.

Options

Change these in the tile’s settings: Configure… on the tile in edit mode.

Dashboards

Buttons

The dashboards on the bar, in their order, at most 8. A tap opens the dashboard; holding it or tapping it twice can do something else. A dashboard takes its own name and icon unless you give it others.
