Action link with view selector

Question

Hi All

I have a dashboard page 1 having a report with view selector to switch between chart and table. I have created a copy of this dashboard page with different name dashboard page 2. I have also created an action link in page1 to navigate to page2.

Whenever I change the options in view selector of page1 and navigating to page2 whatever has been chosen is not carried to page2. It always takes the default value of page2

Is there a way to pass the view selector value through action link. Or is this a bug?

Thanks

An action link can send the context of the analysis (values of columns).

A view selector isn't part of what an action link can send.

Your view selector isn't a value of the OBIEE model (not a column / value of your presentation layer), nor it is a variable. It's a pure UI object allowing you to display 2 (or more) different pieces in the same location instead one above/next the other.

So you can't expect the action link to send to page 2 that you were looking at the table or the chart. The action link send the context (the filters, the data you clicked) and that's it.

Not a bug but how the tool works.

I think the problem it is not the View Selector.

- Check if you pass the parameters from your dashboard page 1, to dashboard page 2, use "analyze" report link in your report of the dashboard page 2 and go to your "Criteria"Tab, to check if you are passing the parameters.
