Change Bold BI link navigation to open links in the same browser tab

This page describes how to open the links in the current tab rather than in a new tab from the Bold BI.

Steps to open the links in the current tab

1. Open the UMS Settings page using the link {domain}/ums/administration.
   

2. Select Configuration from the Settings menu and choose config.json from the dropdown. Starting from Bold BI version 6.19.14, use the config.json file for configuration. For versions prior to 6.19.14, continue using the config.xml file.

   

3. Set the EnableSameTabLinkTarget to true in the editor and then save the changes.
   

4. After completing the above steps, restart the Bold BI application application. Once restarted, access the Bold BI application, and the link will now open in the current tab.

   For Example:

   • When EnableSameTabLinkTarget: false is set in config.json, opening the dashboard from the dashboard listing page to view the dashboard data will result in it opening in a new tab.

   • When EnableSameTabLinkTarget: true is set in config.json, opening the dashboard from the dashboard listing page to view the dashboard data will now open in the current tab.

   NOTE: This feature has been supported at the tenant level since Bold BI® version 5.2.48 and at the UMS level since version 6.18.11. This feature is useful for controlling link navigation when the entire Bold BI Embed application is embedded in the IFrame. For more details about Application Embedding.
