drop down search token as a global input

smolcj — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 13:31:01 GMT

hi all,
Is it possible to pass a variable to other dashboards, something like global variable,
i have a dropdown box and sources are populated in it, i need the same source name selected in one dashboard to be in other dashboards without selecting either by a default population or as a variable input
please help
thank you

Fields, they're called fields! So what you really want to do is pass values over to another dashboard, I recommend using sideview utils and its wonderful urlloader and drilldown.

Download it and there are some great tutorials build into the app to explain how it all works.

Try downloading it and looking at the tutorials 🙂 You'd be surprised how easy it can be. It may look more complicated than Simple XML but really it actually makes a great deal more sense once you've sat and looked at it for a while
