Dashboards & Visualizations

prevent dashboard from running searches when it is loaded

Is it possible to prevent a dashboard to autorun all the searches in it when the dashboard is opened? Ideally the searches should run only when the user had selected all the desired parameters in the fields and Submit is pressed.

Hi, @imrago
This is an example.
If you pass the token to the search and click the submit button, basically it will not be executed automatically.
