My company went live with V1 of our Pigments budget application.  The way our pigment solution was built, with our Pigment partner implementing with us, is with 5 applications that our users have to navigate between.

  1. Reporting
  2. Revenue and Cost of Sales
  3. Operating Expenses
  4. Workforce Planning
  5. Forecasting

The solution is good, and we will have changes when we go to version 2.  However, our user feedback is that the navigation is terrible. There is the navigation window that can be structured for navigation sequencing, but there is no great way to build navigation between applications and boards except by using an action widget with an external URL for applications and board.  Though this works, it is impossible to build without it being too busy and clunky at best.

Has anyone built a good solution using the widgets to navigate not only between boards, but also between applications?  How did you do it?


 

Hello ​@Scholten_KTEA ,

Thank you for your question.

Indeed, currently, Pigment doesn’t support direct navigation across different Applications except by using Action widgets with external URLs pointing to the target Application or Board. 

To improve the navigation experience, here are some best practices you can apply:

  • Organize links clearly: Group cross-Application links in a dedicated section or Landing Board.
  • Provide context: Use text widgets to explain and structure navigation areas, reducing clutter.
  • Use a Landing Board: Create a central board with well-structured links to other Applications (cards for links, buttons for actions).
  • Keep styling consistent: Apply clear hierarchy so users can easily distinguish primary vs. secondary actions.

We encourage you to share this feedback or submit a feature request via the Ideas section.

Additionally, you’re welcome to raise a ticket with our Support team so we can review your workspace and provide personalized best practices tailored to your setup.

Best,
