# URL Action Overrides (Link Target)

> Configure URL actions in Tableau dashboards to control link behavior and user navigation within Curator.

When a URL action gets triggered in Curator, there are different settings that allow Curator to handle these actions in
a more sophisticated manner directing your users to the location they want to end up without much intervention in the
middle.  You can find a description of the available options at the bottom of this page.

## Set the Link Target

1. Login to the backend of your Curator instance (e.g. `https://www.curatorexample.com/backend`).
2. Navigate to the **Tableau** > **Dashboards** section from the left-hand menu.
3. Click the Dashboard you'd like to edit from the list page.
4. Under the "Advanced" tab, look for the *Embedded Options* section.
5. Change the Link Target field to the desired option (see below for descriptions)
6. Click the "Save" button.

### Available Options

*Default*
By default, Curator handles the URL as defined in the Tableau Dashboard.

*Self*
The URL Action defined in the Tableau Dashboard will load within the embedded frame on the page keeping the user in the
same location.

*Parent*
The URL Action defined in the Tableau Dashboard will change the location of the current browser tab the user is on
navigating them away from the current page.

*Blank*
The URL Action defined in the Tableau Dashboard will open in a new browser tab.

*Curator Detect*
Curator inspects the URL produced by the URL Action and checks whether it matches a Dashboard page in the current
user's navigation within Curator. If a match is found, it directs the user to that Curator page in the same browser
tab — preserving any query-string filters appended to the URL. If no match is found, it opens the URL in a new browser
tab instead.

*Curator Detect New Tab*
The same behavior as Curator Detect, only in both scenarios it opens up a new tab.

### Passing Filters through URL Actions

When passing filters through URL Actions on a Tableau Dashboard, Tableau has good documentation on how to set this up
[here](https://help.tableau.com/current/server-linux/en-gb/actions_url.htm?source=productlink#Using). For a complete
walkthrough of configuring a URL Action to pass filters and navigate users to a filtered Curator Dashboard, see
[Navigate to a Filtered Curator Dashboard via a URL Action](/embedding_using_analytics/tableau_dashboards/cross_dashboard_navigation_url_actions).
