Populate drop down based on another drop down

We are trying to create a dashboard and populated many fields in the drop down to filter. But the data is increasing on drop down , so we are trying to group the data based upon daily, weekly, monthly. I was wondering how do we achieve this in Splunk drop down. In a one line, we would like to populate data in drop down based upon previous select ?

Thanks in advance......

amitsehgal,

Basically this is achieved via advanced XML. There have been a few questions answered related to dynamic dropdowns in XML: building-a-view-with-2-dynamic-drop-down-menus
