Hey everyone! We’ve just rolled out a few enhancements that make dashboard kiosk setups more seamless – especially helpful for those of you using iPads or dedicated wall-mounted tablets.
Kiosk Mode Improvements
A handful of users reported that kiosk mode didn’t always ‘stick’ when navigating to other dashboards if the tablet reloads. Good news – that’s now resolved!
- When you start in kiosk mode (
?kiosk=true), navigating between dashboards keeps you in kiosk mode - The
?kioskparameter is preserved even when using Hyperlink Tiles- Use
?kiosk=trueto stay in kiosk mode - Or use
?kiosk=falseto explicitly exit kiosk mode
- Use
This should make setups on iPads and other dedicated displays much more consistent – especially when you’re hopping between dashboards!

New $.goBack() Hyperlink Feature
This one’s for our Super Tile power users! You can now use a new special syntax in Hyperlink Tiles:
$.goBack()
This lets you navigate back to where you came from which is perfect for when you want to maximize space and leverage an existing Super Tile to add a ‘Go Back’ link without using a dedicated Dashboard Tile.
This leverages the existing Hyperlink Tile Syntax, making it easy to plug in right away!
