BloX Popups
I think it would be great to have the ability to add Dimensions/Values on BloX pop up widgets that do not exist on the parent BloX widget. I realize that you can use the Jump To Dashboard action to achieve this. But, that can lead to a bloat of dashboards. Here is an example.
We have started to use a "KPI/Status Bar" at the top of a lot of our dashboards.
This is a great BloX widget in that it allows us to display multiple KPI's on a single row. Our goal is to then allow a user to click on a KPI and through BloX pop ups give them the details about that KPI.
The BloX popup is great, but it is limited (at least as far as I can tell) to the fields that you have in your Parent BloX widget. This means that when I do not use the Carousel option, (I am displaying overall KPI values), I cannot use any Items in the pop up, only the Values that are present on the parent widget.
This is a single dashboard that has 6 KPI's. That means an additional 6 _drill_ dashboards to use Jump to Dashboard. If I have 20 dashboards, that could lead to an additional ~120 dashboards that would have to be maintained.
If there is a way to do this, I would love to know what it is.
If not, and if this request is not way out there, I would like to request that something like this be added.

Hi Gaurav Yadav,
I'm not sure that I fully understand the exact use case but you can develop a custom BloX action that will do that.
If you require flexabilty with the parmaters that are being passed to the popup - that also can acived.
Feel free to reach out with some more details about your use case and I'de be happy to send few guidelinesto yourdev team on how to accomplish this.
Cheers,
Ravid

Hi Gaurav Yadav,
If that is the case, you can use "normal" Indicator widgets and then utlize the officialy supproted (and free) Accordion Plugin
You probably can hook it to a click on BloX widget as well But you'll need to try it out first.
I hope it helped,
Ravid
