The below selection logic does NOT work when i want to display the charts when ONLY ALL is selected in the 'select the area' token.

Am using set token with depends to display certain set of panels.

Any idea what i am doing wrong please?

    <input type="multiselect" token="search_terms">
          <label>Select the area</label>
           <choice value="*">ALL</choice>
           <choice value="CreateCust">CreateCust</choice>
           <choice value="updt">updt Cust</choice>
           <choice value="join scam">join schem</choice>
           <choice value="leave Scam">leave schem</choice>
          <change>
            <condition label="ALL">
              <set token="hidden_panel">SHOW</set>
            </condition>
          </change>
        </input>
      </fieldset>

    <!-- This chart will always show ONLY if ALL is selected -->
        <chart depends="$hidden_panel$">
          <title>trend Customer</title>
          <search>
    </chart> 
    <!-- This chart will always display -->
<chart >
          <title>trend Customer</title>
          <search>
    </chart> 
     <!-- This chart will always show ONLY if ALL is selected -->
    <chart depends="$hidden_panel$">
          <title>trend Customer</title>
          <search>
    </chart>

The issue is multiselect inputs don't support the change element. See reference here: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Viz/PanelreferenceforSimplifiedXML#change.

You would have to use JavaScript to handle setting and unsetting the token or add an extra background search that can determine if ALL is set or not. The latter will work without JS but it is not super-clean.

ahh, that would do it. normally when i do this, I use checkbox. I'd never tried it on multiselect.

well i took the alternative way out & shifted that logic to a radio button.

I will try to work it out with checkbox just for closure to this answer.

the problem is because you're setting a token that doesn't exist. if you have <set token="search_termsl">SHOW</set>, then it works, however, it will populate for all selections, which isn't what you want. you will need to try to eval a token with the correct conditions <eval token="hidden_panel">$search_terms$=*</eval> possibly
