Link

Use the Link component to link to any internal resources. For external resources (i.e., outside the current environment), use the ExternalLink component instead.

OverviewPropertiesUsage

Link vs. Button

Link

• Use Links only for navigational purposes. For example, to navigate to another page within an app or view.

ExternalLink

• Use the ExternalLink to link to external resources. External resources in the context of the Dynatrace platform are any resources that live outside the users' current environment.

Button

• Use Buttons to trigger actions or events.
• In rare cases, buttons can have navigational purposes. For example, when links need to align visually with surrounding items or when the main actions in a view are links, such as Next or Previous buttons in a guided user flow.

IntentButton

• Use IntentButtons if users will continue a user flow in another Dynatrace app. Clicking the IntentButton triggers an overlay that lets users select an app to share data with.
• Read more about intents on the dedicated intents page.
