Redirect component

A redirect navigates to another location as soon as the dashboard displays the component. The component draws nothing, so it is used in a dashboard that exists only to send the user elsewhere.

Use a redirect in a dashboard that forwards the user to another page or to an external address. Do not use a redirect to provide a link that the user clicks, because the redirect cannot wait for a click. Use an Action with invoke: Navigate, or an a element in an HTML component, for a link.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
url	string	Yes	None	Location to navigate to. A path that starts with a single / is opened inside the web interface. Any other address replaces the current page in the same browser tab

id and class are accepted but have no effect.

    - row:
        items:
