Help with the Related Hubs widget please

Hello,

The related hubs widget only displays the sub-hubs that you have.

To move one hub under another, you can go to the list of Hubs, and move it.

Select the hub you want, and it will move the one you've moved beneath it.

It'll look like this after:

And if you have a related hubs widget in the main hub, it'll display the tree structure.

Guide explains how to create sub-hubs: https://userguide.m-files.com/user-guide/hubshare-admin/latest/eng/hsadmin_creating_sub-hubs.html

I hope that helps.

Thanks Abdoullah Azieze , that explains it.  I don't have sub-hubs, what I wanted was to create quick access to another hub, is there another way to do that? can you recommend something?

You can use a custom content widget to add the URL of that Hub there. That's a different way to get a clickable link inside a widget.

Hi

Thanks Irene for raising this question and Abdoullah for your answer who's correct.

I was also thinking that Useful links widget could be a nice alternative to list efficiently some links to other hubs. 

Thanks Baptiste Tamburini , I like that!

I have finally created a sub-hub because the main hub was too busy but I am coming up with a few issues:

1. On the main hub, I do not have an option to create a "related hubs" widget.

2. On the sub-hub, I can create the related hubs widget but it does not do anything because the link is to the sub-hub - there is nothing to configure

They are connected:

Have I done something wrong?

Hi Irene,

It's been a while.
What you did seems to me like the right way to proceed: you should see "South West influencing hub" in the "Related Hub" widget in your parent hub. 

Below is an example to illustrate this:

1. On the main hub, I do not have an option to create a "related hubs" widget.

=> This is indeed weird. Eventually one reason could be that you already have this widget kind created in your parent hub, since "Related hub" is this kind of widget we can have only one time per hub. Maybe hidden in a page of your hub?

2. On the sub-hub, I can create the related hubs widget but it does not do anything because the link is to the sub-hub - there is nothing to configure

=> Creating a Related hub widget in the hub doesn't make sense, or at least, Related hub widget only lists sub-hub so in your case, if you expect the widget to also show a link to go back to the parent hub, it will sadly not work like this.

Hi Baptiste Tamburini  Thank you so much.  You are absolutely right.  I had used that option in the past for the purpose described in this thread.  I had no idea that you could only use the widget once.  But it is there now. I have repurposed it.  My only comment is that the way it looks could be improved - maybe to see the hub as a tile or something similar.  

On the sub-hub I was looking for a quick way to go back to the parent hub - I take your point, might be best using a link (I think I will use that for both because the related hub widget does not look great).

Thanks for the clarification.

Hi Irene,

I agree with you, the current Related hub widget is not perfect and we could improve it. Also, very few customers do use Sub hubs and this widget, reason why we didn't invest a lot of energy in this widget during last years.

Fair point still.

Hopefully we can make it better soon.
