Table of contents

Can one make contents of all views that are used in application? It really makes sence to have such information on the main page when you have dozens of metrics at each view. I see it like autocollected links to each panel on a view. Any ideas?

Why don't you create a view that contains HTML as your default landing page (configure the view with default="true" in the nav xml).

In this HTML you can then include a table (for example) and then have a column with your views and column with a description (i.e. what metrics are included in that view). You can use something like <a href="/app/yourApp/yourView">Some text</a> to include a link to your view.

Here is a link to the docs on this topic.. http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Developer/AddHTML

You have the navigation menus in apps that you can use for this. Did you have look at nav.xml? If yes, what's missing?

@Ayn Yes, we have 8 menus in navigation bar, each menu has about 8 links to the different views, and each view has nearly 20 metrics. Users that do not remember what exact metrics on every view, have to open each view to find what he needs. Labels for the views are rather descriptive but it's still not enough for a user's understanding what's inside exactly.
