Hide Panel Not Working Version 6.5

[g038123]

Hello,
Hoping for some help with this. We have a Dashboard that was working, at least that's what I was told, one of the panels was hidden until a state was clicked on the map. Now, when a state is clicked, the panel isn't displayed. I know the search is running because when I click on "Edit", I see the report/panel with correct results. The xml is below, can someone help point me in the right direction with what's not working here? Thanks in advance!

<panel>
      <title>Consult Communicator Location Map</title>
      <map>
        <title>Click on a State to see Location Details</title>
        <search>
          <query>| dbxquery query="Select MODEL,SERIAL,NAME,STREET_ADDR,CITY,STATE,POSTAL_CODE,OLSON_CODE FROM foo" connection="FOO_STDBY" shortnames=t  
| search CITY!="SMALL_TOWN" 
| lookup geo_attr_us_states state_code AS STATE OUTPUT state_name AS STATE
| stats count by STATE | geom geo_us_states featureIdField="STATE"</query>
          <earliest>@d</earliest>

instead of having it set to <panel depends="$panel_show$"> try setting it to <panel depends="$src_type_tok$">

that token is what you're using to set the state, so theoretically, it is the token that the depends could be set on to show the panel for the drilldown.

Thank you for the reply!
I did set ** as I was troubleshooting this dashboard.
Sadly, the panel remains visible.
I'm taking over the Splunk responsibilities from someone who left the company, so I'm new to this, from what I've read the depends should hide the panel. Am I off base on that?

[g038123]

Sorry, this got cut off.
I did set <panel depends="$src_type_tok$">

[cmerriman]

try to use <set token="src_type_tok">$click.value2$</set>
depends should hide the panel until the src_type_tok is set, ie: the value is clicked on. try to add in <form script="showtokens.js"> at the top of your xml as a token debugger to make sure the tokens are setting correctly.

[g038123]

Awesome!
That worked perfectly.

Thank you to everyone who responded, much appreciated!

Your problem is the panel_show token which is never set anywhere. You either need to change that line to just <panel> (and it will always show) or set that token somewhere (perhaps in a done clause of as the result of a click or drilldown or something).

[woodcock]

You also should unset the token when the form is reinitialized.

Also, make sure that you reload the page and remove any tokens from the URL while editing. Sometimes you get unexpected behavior because the tokens still live in the URL even though you thought you're looking at a clean page after saving it.

I was just going to say this. It is a HUGELY common mistake.

[g038123]

Thank you for that 😉 and for the Dashboard examples app recommendation.
It is very helpful!!

Do yourself a favor and download the "Splunk 6.x Dashboard Examples" app and go through it.
