I have to add some user inputs to a search. The process is we are assigning gps units to specific serial numbers for tracking purposes. The gps unit will be put on a product then removed when the product leaves one of our facilities. I would like to be able to barcode scan the unit then barcode scan the serial number and have it be in my searches. I threw together a lookup file to do this, but I feel like there is a better way to do this.&nbsp;</P><P>The only references i would really need are the gps_id and the serial_number.&nbsp;</P><P>I'll gladly give more description as necessary. I'm only partly familiar with more advnaced html, css, and js.&nbsp;</P> Thu, 15 Apr 2021 13:58:59 GMT strehb18 2021-04-15T13:58:59Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Adding-User-Inputs-into-searches/m-p/548017#M37702 <P>Hello,</P><P>I have been searching for a post similar to mine and just have not found it.

These can set tokens which can then be used on searches in the dashboard. Sorry for a generic answer. If you want something more specific, please ask.</P> Thu, 15 Apr 2021 15:24:08 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Adding-User-Inputs-into-searches/m-p/548029#M37703 ITWhisperer 2021-04-15T15:24:08Z
