Where can I find what variables are available to use defining custom links from dashboards?  
Such as {{dashboardUrl}} and ctx related variables?

@Lars_Andersson , I believe this list depends on the block. Which block are you referring too?

I did not see the URL shown above under “Link to custom URL”.  
That URL field is empty.

Hi Lars,

That URL is not prefilled, you can find some guidance on direct URL manipulation [here](https://docs.losant.com/dashboards/context-variables/#direct-url-manipulation), and format helpers can be found [here](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/accessing-payload-data/#format-helpers).

Thanks!
