How to use multiple tokens/token values in a checkbox form input to display different panels?

szabados — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 09:47:07 GMT

I want to put a set of checkboxes on a dashboard, and display panels according to the checked checkboxes.
I have 3 panels, with an attribute.
I want to create one single checkbox input element, with three checkboxes, like:
Display...
[] panel1
[] panel2
[] panel3

And display each panel respectively. My problem is that a checkbox input element can have only 1 token, but I want to have a separate token for every checkbox option.
So basically, I want to set a separate token for every choice element in the checkbox panel.

        <!--<choice value="*">ANY</choice>
        <default></default>
         The final value will be surrounded by prefix and suffix -->
        <prefix>(</prefix>
        <suffix>)</suffix>
        <!-- Each value will be surrounded by the valuePrefix and valueSuffix -->
        <valuePrefix>temp="</valuePrefix>
        <valueSuffix>"</valueSuffix>
        <!-- All the values and their valuePrefix and valueSuffix will be concatenated together with the delimiter between them -->
        <delimiter> OR </delimiter>
     <populatingSearch fieldForLabel="temp" fieldForValue="temp">|gentimes start=-1 | eval temp="Panel1" | table temp</populatingSearch>
    </input>

      <input type="checkbox" token="token2" searchWhenChanged="true">
        <!--<choice value="*">ANY</choice>

Hi, I'm having the same problem myself (in Splunk 6.5). I just tried this but the result I get is 3 columns of checkboxes, each containing one checkbox, with the labels: token1, token2 and token3.
