Allow to favorite dashboards
Problem to solve
Let's introduce a way to access the most accessed/requested dashboards in the dashboard dropdown menu by allowing users to "star" their most used dashboards and showing them first in the dashboard dropdown.
Grafana has this star button
and the dashboard list changes depending on the user
Intended users
Further details
Some of the challenges that I can see coming up from this feature are
- Figure out how to store the favorite dashboards from an user and display them on the frontend
- How to store an user's favorite dashboards
Proposal
-
The user can star and unstar the dashboard by clicking on the star button. Starred dashboards appear at the top of the dashboards list in the dropdown and have the star icon.
-
Starred dashboards will be displayed alphabetically.
