Using Canvas filter as variable for viz description

Dr. Christopher Cullmann

Hi,

I have set a canvas filter for region and I want to use the filtered value as variable in the description of a visualization.

Unfortunately, currently the approach of parameters only works for values used in drop down filters.

This does work, as usual by mapping to a parameter and using it in the title of the viz as below

I am not sure if you are using OAC or OAS - ideally believe both should be same. But I tested on OAC.

Hi @Anitha Ramarao-Oracle I am using OAS 2026,

can you guide me how to create such a parameter "Year" ?

Best,

Christopher

I haven't used OAS recently, but please do check if this is helpful

Using Parameters only works for the title field, but not for the description field. We need it for the description field.

We've been told in response to our SR that all we can do is keep "Access" limited to only the default admin and sysAdmin roles. This prevents regular users from seeing…

Save AI-detected anomalies and insights as a reportable dataset
When Oracle Analytics AI features find an anomaly, trend or key driver, let authors save those results as a dataset or subject area. Each run would add rows with the metric, the date found, the expected versus actual value, the severity, the main drivers and the filters applied. Authors could then build workbooks, schedule…
Custom snapshot : disable catalog content
We use the snapshot to update AppRoles members. But we would like to disable catalog content to have smaller snapshots and create snapshots faster.
