#  Open in Parse.ly bookmarklet

The Open in Parse.ly bookmarklet allows one-click access to view a site page in 
the [Parse.ly Dashboard](https://docs.parse.ly/dashboard/).

To use this bookmarklet, first click and drag the green “Open in Parse.ly” button
below from this page into your browser’s bookmarks bar or list:

---

 [Open in Parse.ly](https://docs.parse.ly/user-handbook/tools-features/(function(){if(!window.PARSELY){alert('Parse.ly is not loaded on this page.');return}var e=(window.PARSELY.config || {}).apikey || document.getElementById('parsely-cfg').getAttribute('data-parsely-site');var t='https://dash.parsely.com/'+e+'/find?url=%27+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href);window.open(t,%27_blank%27)})())

Click and drag the “Open in Parse.ly” button into browser bookmarks.

Then, while visiting a page on a site being tracked by Parse.ly, click that new 
bookmark to open its [post details page](https://docs.parse.ly/dashboard/posts-tab/post-details/)
in the Dashboard.

Visit one of your tracked sites. Click the new “Open in Parse.ly” bookmark to open
it in the Dashboard.

**Note**

To open a page in the Dashboard with the bookmarklet, Parse.ly must already be tracking
it. Also, your Parse.ly user account must have [access](https://docs.parse.ly/account-management/users/)
to the site in the Dashboard, and you must have logged into the Dashboard in your
browser.

Parse.ly also offers the [Overlay bookmarklet](https://docs.parse.ly/tools-features/overlay/)
to display real-time metrics and a heat map over a site to easily track performance.

## Troubleshooting

### ‘Parse.ly is not loaded on this page.’

If this is seen in a browser alert when trying to open a page in the Dashboard using
the bookmarklet, it means that Parse.ly is not tracking the page’s URL. To resolve,
ensure that [the Parse.ly tracking code has been installed](https://docs.parse.ly/parsely-integration/#h-step-3-install-tracking).

### ‘Not Found: The requested resource was not found on this server.’

This alert message appears when the bookmarklet clicked from a page that hasn’t 
yet been crawled by Parse.ly. This occurs for new URLs that have yet to have a [visitor](https://docs.parse.ly/measuring-reporting-performance/calculations/visitors/).
Typically, waiting a few minutes to allow traffic to begin will then allow the bookmarklet
to work as expected.

Technical teams can check that the Parse.ly tracking code points to the correct 
[Site ID](https://docs.parse.ly/site-id/) and that the Site ID and domain match 
by [inspecting the page view](https://docs.parse.ly/test-integration/#h-pageview).

**Note**

If you’d like to track cross-domain, contact Parse.ly Support at [support@parsely.com](https://docs.parse.ly/user-handbook/tools-features/support@parsely.com?output_format=md)
to enable this.

## Direct access via URL

In addition to the bookmarklet, the [post details page](https://docs.parse.ly/dashboard/posts-tab/post-details/)
in the Dashboard for a site page can also be directly accessed using the following
URL syntax:

`https://dash.parsely.com/<Your [Site ID](https://docs.parse.ly/site-id/)>/find?
url=<Full site page URL>`

**Example: **`https://dash.parsely.com/docs.parse.ly/find?url=https://docs.parse.
ly/dashboard/ai-assist/`
