Setting Custom URL on Dashboard Tiles
I used to be able to edit the properties of a tile or pinned report in the dashboard section and paste a custom URL. This was handy because if I had a graph for instance, I might want to have the user navigate to a more detailed report if they clicked on it in the dashboard. Did this feature go away/move or am I just not seeing it?
Actually, it's back to working/looking the way it used to so I guess it's "fixed". I use that term loosely as this is the same type of behavior that occurred when my users lost their ability to use the ellipsis to export data to Excel...it came back on its own the next week. This is leading me to believe that I have some sort of environmental issue here within my world. You probably noticed on my last screen shots that I didn't even have a scroll bar and the Content box was missing too. Perhaps there is some incongruity on rendering the page in the browser (?). We have had some funkiness in our web filtering software in the past so maybe it's something to do with that. In any event, thanks for sticking with this. I appreciate the effort.

I no longer have the option even for tiles for which I previously had set the URL. It still navigates as it used to but the option is gone even if I wanted to change it. I don't use live reports on my dashboards as a rule...just individual graphs and other exhibits.
I have tested it on my side, and I still have the option for the tiles on my dashboard. The option only disappears when we don't have edit permission on the dashboard like below.
So please go and check if you still have edit permission on the dashboard. In addition, if you are connecting to a content pack, you will not have edit permission on the dashboards within that content pack(even when you are the creator of that content pack).
