WTH - Persistent badges across all pages

It would be nice to have a global dashboard option to have badges persist as you move from page to page. Instead I have to rebuild the badges on each page and if I make a change, it needs to happen on every page individually. Unless I’m missing this, I don’t think this is currently possible.

I have managed the same kind of design, but not using badges:

Instead I use a top section full width filled with a streamline card using mushroom chips. This streamline card being a template, it can be copy pasted into all views of the dashboard. Any correction/modification to the template is propagated to all the implementation of the template.

There is a way - but only for yaml-mode dashboards:

title: view_1
path: ...
badges: !include my_badges.yaml
title: view_2
path: ...
badges: !include my_badges.yaml

where “my_badges.yaml” is

- entity: sensor.xxx
  ...
- entity: sensor.yyy
  ...

I would like to have a “header” with my badge collection, such as the weather alerts (if any), pollution level over level x, external temperature under 4°C ans so on…

there is no problem to integrate it in a dashboard.

there is no problem to cut and paste it on a second dashboard. but in case of modification, adjusting a level or adding a new sensor, I must change all the different lines in all the impacted dashboards.

inserting a header fonction could be cool, it could add a link to one (or more) configuration file with some repeating entries…
(it could also be an “include”)

Check out my feature request:

In keeping with this, my preference would be an option to lock the badge row from vertical scrolling with the rest of the dashboard so they are always visible at the top of the dashboard. Should this be a separate WTH?

Why is there not an option for the set of badges I create on my first dashboard page to also be shown and kept in sync with the other pages in my dashboard? It’s nice to show some glance info at the top of each page, but currently I have to manually duplicate the badges and keep them in sync myself if I make a change to one of them.

I have a feature request similar to this that you may be interested in voting for:

Use search before posting WTH, the very same is here already.

Honestly, the forum search function needs work because I couldn’t find something the other day to grab the link to it.

I would agree.
