How to load dashboard panels based on dropdown values which should be dependent on submit button?

[admin12345678]

Hi,

I have a dashboard where I have a dropdown with three values A, B and C, now if I click on value A it should set panel A, and If I choose value B it should load panel B and same for C also. now that code I have developed but in the dashboard added a submit button and disabled searchwhenchange but still prior to click on submit button panels load automatically after choosing values from the dropdown.

I need help on the submit button it should load panels only after clinking on the submit button.

please find the code below which I have developed.

<form>
  <label>My Dashboard</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="true">
    <input type="dropdown" token="dropdown_token" searchWhenChanged="false">
      <label>dropdown_token</label>
      <default>A</default>
      <choice value="A">A</choice>
      <choice value="B">B</choice>
      <choice value="C">C</choice>
      <change>
        <condition match="'value'==&quot;A&quot;">
          <set token="panelA">true</set>
          <unset token="panelB">false</unset>
          <unset token="panelC">false</unset>
        </condition>
        <condition match="'value'==&quot;B&quot;">
          <unset token="panelA">true</unset>
          <set token="panelB">false</set>
          <unset token="panelC">false</unset>
        </condition>
        <condition match="'value'==&quot;C&quot;">
          <unset token="panelA">true</unset>
          <unset token="panelB">false</unset>
          <set token="panelC">false</set>
        </condition>
      </change>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel depends="$panelA$">
      <table>
        <title>Panel A</title>
        <search>
          <query>index=a |table a b c</query>
        </search>
      </table>
    </panel>
    <panel depends="$panelB$">
      <table>
        <title>Panel B</title>
        <search>
          <query>index=a |table a b c</query>
        </search>
      </table>
    </panel>
    <panel depends="$panelC$">
      <table>
        <title>Panel C</title>
        <search>
          <query>index=a |table a b c</query>
        </search>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

In your example, the tokens referenced in the depends= attributes are changing regardless of the submit action. Without using any custom JS; the only way (that I know of) to trigger a token change upon submit, is to use a search.

Here is an example based on your original question that makes use of a | makeresults command which is executed upon submit.  

<form>
  <label>My Dashboard</label>
  <search>
    <query>| makeresults | eval panel="$panelToggle$" | fields panel</query>
    <done>
      <unset token="panelA"></unset>
      <unset token="panelB"></unset>
      <unset token="panelC"></unset>
    </done>
    <done>
      <condition match="$result.panel$==&quot;A&quot;">
        <set token="panelA"></set>
      </condition>
      <condition match="$result.panel$==&quot;B&quot;">
        <set token="panelB"></set>
      </condition>
      <condition match="$result.panel$==&quot;C&quot;">
        <set token="panelC"></set>
      </condition>
    </done>
  </search>
  <fieldset submitButton="true" autoRun="false">
    <input type="dropdown" token="panelToggle" searchWhenChanged="false">
      <label>dropdown_token</label>
      <choice value="A">A</choice>
      <choice value="B">B</choice>
      <choice value="C">C</choice>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <search>
    <query>| makeresults | eval panel="$panelToggle$"</query>
    <progress>
      <unset token="panelA"></unset>
      <unset token="panelB"></unset>
      <unset token="panelC"></unset>
    </progress>
    <done>
      <condition match="$results.panel$==&quot;A&quot;">
        <set token="panelA"></set>
      </condition>
      <condition match="$results.panel$==&quot;B&quot;">
        <set token="panelB"></set>
      </condition>
      <condition match="$results.panel$==&quot;C&quot;">
        <set token="panelC"></set>
      </condition>
    </done>
  </search>
  <row>
    <panel depends="$panelA$">
      <table>
        <title>Panel A</title>
        <search depends="$panelA$">
          <query>index=a |table a b c</query>
        </search>
      </table>
    </panel>
    <panel depends="$panelB$">
      <table>
        <title>Panel B</title>
        <search depends="$panelB$">
          <query>index=a |table a b c</query>
        </search>
      </table>
    </panel>
    <panel depends="$panelC$">
      <table>
        <title>Panel C</title>
        <search depends="$panelC$">
          <query>index=a |table a b c</query>
        </search>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

 (Note the use of depends= for the searches to, to stop the searches from running unnecessarily).
