Passing parameter to saved search in forms (simple xml)

[vaibhavagg2006]

Hi,
I want to pass parameter value from drop down to saved search in simple xml.

I am using @go?s to call savedsearch. Is there any way out to pass parameter value.

Thanks

I am trying to do something similar. Any help on trying to do it via simple XML would be appreciated.

yes you are right. I want to call a saved search on click of a link and pass a parameter(value from dropdown). I guess i have to switch to advanced xml.

Correct, form input tokens cannot be passed into saved searches (using "searchName").

The best way to include form input tokens within searches in simple xml is to use either "searchString" or "searchTemplate". In other words, you will need to convert it to an inline search.

If you're willing to switch the the advanced XML I'm sure it can be done there and I can help. It sounds like you want your drilldown to send both the name of a savedsearch and also the name of one or more other params, with the savedsearch name being used in the target view to load/run that savedsearch, and also with the additional params being used in searches too. Is that correct?
