I have many saved searches and i populate them in a drop-down. Now what i want is to choose the one that will be run on the panel.

when i do this in my xml code:

<search ref="$savedsearch_token$"></search>

my panel displays a savedsearch error

Make sure that you saved report in the same app context with you dashboard
Make sure that in your dropdown you listed the name for the saved report
look the roles for your saved report you dashboard code is stile correct to run the saved report see more in new_in_splunk_6.2.pdf manuel

hi Felix Thanks for your help. I've try that already but it still do not work. I don't know if there is a way to escape the $..$

i thing that you have to prefix and sufix your token with "

It's more reliable to write $footoken|s$ than "$footoken$", as the former will deal with backslashes and quotes in the token value correctly.
