# Dashlist Panel

## Overview

The dashboard list panel allows you to display dynamic links to other dashboards. The list can be configured to use starred dashboards, a search query and/or dashboard tags.

> On each dashboard load, the dashlist panel will re-query the dashboard list, always providing the most up to date results.

## Mode: Starred Dashboards

The `starred` dashboard selection displays starred dashboards, up to the number specified in the `Limit Number to` field, in alphabetical order. On dashboard load, the dashlist panel will re-query the favorites to appear in dashboard list panel, always providing the most up to date results.

## Mode: Search Dashboards

The panel may be configured to search by either string query or tag(s). On dashboard load, the dashlist panel will re-query the dashboard list, always providing the most up to date results. 

To configure dashboard list in this manner, select `search` from the Mode select box. When selected, the Search Options section will appear.

### Search by tag
To search by one or more tags, enter your selection in the `Search Options: Tags:` field. Note that existing tags will not appear as you type, and *are* case sensitive. To see a list of existing tags, you can always return to the dashboard, open the Dashboard Picker at the top and click `tags` link in the search bar.
