Hello,

It would be great, that in the same way you can pin filters to be applied to all canvases in the WB, you could also pin Dashboard filters to all canvases, so you don't need to copy again and again same Dashboard filters across all canvases.

Thanks.

Cheers,

Jorge

    I vote for it.

    Current process is painful. Create Filters for each canvas is painful.

    Sometimes back OAC product owners suggest using parameters. I saw lot of limitations in it. May be workaround for couple of filters for not more.

  • For reference, here is a walk through on connecting dashboard filters across canvases via a parameter.

    @Bret Grinslade - Oracle Analytics-Oracle Bret, the option, you are referring to, is working, but honestly, it is not ideal (it is very laborious and a little bit "clumsy") - as also mentioned by @Rajakumar Burra above:

    • You need to create/replicate Dashboard filter on all canvases visualization
    • You need to create parameters for all columns used in dashboard filter visualization
    • You need to do parameter binding for all dashboard filter visualization

    Inspiration should be taken from concept of dashboard prompts from classics.

    @Bret Grinslade - Oracle Analytics-Oracle Biggest disadvantage of parameters bounding is

    • Limitation of values available.
    • If we bound the parameters, by default it selects few values. There is no option of select "All".
