Hello All
I am new to Splunk and need to develop an interactive dash board. Would be great if anyone can help with this.

My dash board should have couple of radio button; 1. Search by Input parameters 2. Seach by Output parameters
By selection the option "Search by Input parameters", a. I want to display 5 text fields (which are input parameters) and a submit button b. Allow the user to key in the text fields and submit c. Display the results in a table format
By selection the option "Search by Output`parameters", a. I want to display 5 text fields (which are output parameters) and a submit button b. Allow the user to key in the text fields and submit c. Display the results in a table format

Check below XML for managing filters on the selection of radio button. You can also manage Table view with same technic.

<form>
  <label>Radio Button Selection Example</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="true">
    <input type="radio" token="field1">
      <label>Select Parameter</label>
      <choice value="input">Search by Input parameters</choice>
      <choice value="output">Search by Output parameters</choice>
      <change>
        <condition value="input">
          <set token="tkninput">$value$</set>
          <unset token="tknoutput"></unset>
        </condition>
        <condition value="output">
