Could you please give an exact use case of such feature? I don't understand from your description, thanks!

Hi Matt

thanks for your answer.

I have got two use case in mind
-both appear when you work in a team where
a) not everyone have/need to have experience in using Piwik or
b) uses Piwik only sporadically e.g. 1 times a month...

1 case:
You want to show a college something that happened/changed during the last week with the visitor behaviour on you site:
so you just take the desired statistic, filter it when necessary and send a link to your college so he can have a look on it.
If you send a link instead of a screen shot -the college can follow he changes also on the following days.

2 case:
Imagine you are a shop owner and your team regularly should have a look on some statistic data. Because there are lots of people who have different jobs and they look in the statistic maybe one time a month they forgot the exact place/path where to look - or they simply forgot to look.

=> for these guys you can store some static links to the desired statistic directly in their working space e.g. the shop backend:
so they only have to click and are at the right place :-)

Is it a little more understandable now?

Best regards

HPVD

uuups I think I know what went wrong with my description/ the understandability

Of course I mean in The headline/topic: "redirecting after LOGIN, to the original target"
(and not after LOGOUT)

hmm am I the only one who could uses such a feature several times a week?
(see use-cases above)

Hi @hpvd does it work maybe in 2.12.0? #7432 Make direct links work even if login is required [by @sgiehl]

aaaaahhh yes!!! First tests are positive!! seem to work with latest piwik. Thank you!
What a fortunate coincidence that I've posted here again 9 days after fix. Thanks for pointing me to this!
Without I would have probably waited forever...

great!
