Adding a Clickthrough Link to Logo

Download: Logo Link

Introduction

This article explains how to make your logo also act as a link in Sisense. This is the link in the upper left corner for the Sisense Web page.

The logo image can be customized through the Sisense Branding REST API. However, in order to make the logo image clickable, you'd need to follow the instructions below.

Purpose/Benefits

When branding the Sisense Web with your own logo, it is often useful to make the logo a clickable link to point back to your homepage or other desired location.

Although making the logo clickable makes most sense when applying branding, it is not required that you use branding in order to use this plugin.

If branding is not used, then the plugin will make the default Sisense logo clickable.

Steps

The following steps will walk through the process of adding the plugin and turning your logo clickable.

Step 1 - Add the Plugin

Download the attachment and unzip the contents into your C:\Program Files\Sisense\PrismWeb\plugins\ folder. If you are using version 7.2 and higher unzip the contents into your C:\Program Files\Sisense\app\plugins\ folder. If the plugins folder doesn't exist, just create it.

Step 2 - Edit the href and target Attributes

Open the logolink.js file in a text editor such as Notepad++.
Search the file for the following a tag

<a class="logo-link"
Replace the href attribute with your link's destination.
For example, this will set the link's destination to Sisense's homepage www.sisense.com.
Optional : Set the target attribute to specify where to open the link page. By default, the linked page will open in the same window (_self). For other optional values please see "HTML target Attribute"
Save your changes.

Step 3 - Refresh Sisense Web Page

Hit refresh on your browser. The logo will now be clickable and will open the specified web page.

Hi, This plugin redirects user to Sisense website like it is defined in the java script but the issue is even if the designer clicks on plugin/Widget drop down it redirects. It behaves in the same way for any browser.

I'm not sure I understand what is happening. The logo isn't actually a widget, so when does this behavior happen? When you're editing a different widget or creating one?
