how to pass tokens after clicking the back button to move to the previous dashboard?

richgalloway · ‎07-29-2019

The back button in a browser doesn't/can't pass tokens. It's just going to load the URL you last visited, probably from cache.

You can, however, add a link from the current dashboard to the "previous" dashboard and pass token as you would normally do. This technically is not going back, but achieves the same goal.

Don't click the browser's back button as it won't do what you want it to do. We covered that already.
Click on the "view_patterns" panel to activate the drilldown that takes you to the previous dashboard.

Actually i have created the back button on my screen that takes to the previous dashboard.i want to pass tokens through it
Its not Browsers back button
Back

When you click the Back link, are the tokens in the URL? Do the tokens names match those expected by the destination dashboard?
