I've implemented a custom app where I want the ability to share dashboards seemlessly for my users. As an additional step to make this more seemless I replaced the dashboards navigation button in the search app to go to my custom app and have the custom app's everything else link back to the search app. It ended up being pretty slick and not having to train a new app switching behavior. I modified the following files: /opt/splunk/etc/apps/search/local/data/ui/nav/default.xml <nav search_view="search" color="#5CC05C"> <view name="search" default="true" /> <view name="datasets" /> <view name="reports" /> <view name="alerts" /> <a href="/app/CUSTOM_APP_NAME/dashboards">Dashboards</a> </nav> and edited the same file in my custom app: /opt/splunk/etc/apps/CUSTOM_APP_NAME/local/data/ui/nav/default.xml <nav search_view="dashboards"> <a href="/app/search/search">Search</a> <a href="/app/search/datasets">Datasets</a> <a href="/app/search/datasets">Reports</a> <a href="/app/search/alerts">Alerts</a> <view name="dashboards" /> </nav>   This ultimately makes it so that from an end user's perspective they do not have to be trained to use the app switcher. This will simply give them the same workflow they would expect when using the search app to create and share dashboards but will seemlessly switch between the two apps using the main navigation bar in each. ...
