Hi joshieboy 

 

Can you paste a screenshot of the error you are getting?

 

I do know that some external websites do not allow you to embed their sites, which could be causing the error you are viewing from your link?

 

Check with what you are linking to supports embedding and or iFrames

Hi GilbertQ - please see attached.  I'm actually trying to connect to tabs within the same dashboard so I found it strange.

    Hello GilbertQ - I originally used the direct url from the dashboard as the link in the app, and that did not work.  Then I tried the embed link and it looks as if it is trying to load the page,(at least the error is gone), but the page is taking forever to load in the content area.

        I would contact your network admin to have a look at the error.

      Can you please explain how or where to find the embed link? I can't solve it:
