Feature Updates

New Dashboard - Add Text and Link Widget ⚡️

You can now enhance both existing and new dashboards by setting up entry points to projects, spaces, other dashboards, or request forms with ease. This update allows you to add formatted notes to supply contextual information, instructions, or process guidance. The text and link widget supports customization of the title, description, background color, and icon, while also simplifying hyperlink creation by parsing and recognizing permalinks to common Wrike objects automatically. Utilize this feature to streamline navigation and communication within your dashboards.

Text widget with links!!! I asked for this almost three years ago so this request can be closed. 😁 This will be SO helpful for utilizing dashboards as a home base to link to project documentation, other apps, etc. So excited for the many ways this can be used!

Sorry for the double-comment! I'll post this to the Product Feedback thread as I came across some other things in testing this.

The link option doesn't seem to work for us. Not sure if it's the case for everyone? We can reach out directly to support if it's just affecting us!

The Replace note with linked content button never un-grays for us
If we click Save and go back into the widget to edit it, the link we put disappears
Adding a link to the Note box itself doesn't hyperlink it either

A text widget is a welcome addition to the context of my dashboards!

What happened to the Add Text and Link Widget feature? This was a great addition that we've been using since it was announced to pull in a project update to go with other project status widgets in dashboards that are presented to our CIO. We're scheduled for a review call with CIO today and now all of the linked items are gone. Having to manually copy/paste at the last minute. Is this a bug with new deployment or decision to completely go away from a feature that's only been in use for 8 months? Any chance this will come back?
