The Inline Search pop-ups a box to fill in a search string, but the report button does not give anything to fill in the saved search/report name. Running 6.5.0 Enterprise.

The schedule was once per month and there were no initial run of the report done yet. So it did not show up when I was editing the input dropdown list via GUI right after saving and scheduling the search. So had to manually run the saved search once after scheduling. Then the saved search showed up.</P> Fri, 25 Nov 2016 11:53:18 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/How-to-use-a-saved-search-to-populate-a-dashboard-dropdown-list/m-p/233384#M14459 THi 2016-11-25T11:53:18Z
