I know that the dashboard only has 1 endpoint but would it be possible to set the tabs to a url such as "serverip:1880/ui/example" ? if so how would you go about doing that?

The documentation for the UI Node says you can change the main endpoint as below. I don't think you can change the address of the tabs.

The last post in here, with some modification might work for you - [Configuring a dashboard tab in response to a URL - #6 by Nxito](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/configuring-a-dashboard-tab-in-response-to-a-url/19106/6)

> The default url for the dashboard is based off your existing Node-RED httpRoot path with /ui added. This can be changed in your Node-RED settings.js file - `ui: { path: "ui" },`
> 
> You can also add your own express middleware to handle requests by using the `ui: { middleware: your_function }` property in settings.js. For example

> ui: { path: 'ui', middleware: function (req, res, next) {
> // Do something more interesting here.
> console.log('LOGGED')
> next()
> }

```auto

```
