Parameters in Dashboards

Adding parameters inside Visualizations​

Let us begin by creating a visualization inside the dashboard.

1. Navigate to the Dashboards section and create a New Dashboard.
2. Then, click Add Tile and create a New Visualization.
3. Now, we add parameters. You can either use the pull-out drawer on the left or you can create parameters within the Filters section.
4. Run the exploration. You will be able to see the 'Parameters' icon in the Visualization window using which you can filter your results based on the parameter that was configured.
5. Finally, click Add to Dashboard.

Adding parameter tiles in a dashboard​

To add a new parameter tile,

1. Open an existing dashboard or create a new one.
2. Click Add Tile and choose Parameter.
3. Give your parameter a name, choose the type, associate it to a column, and set the default value.
4. On the right side, you will see the Linked Visualizations section where you can create links. You can use the individual toggles corresponding to each visualization to link/unlink these parameters or you can link/unlink all the listed visualizations using the Link All and Unlink All options respectively.
5. Finally, click Add to Dashboard.

6. If you have an existing parameter tile, you can link that to your visualization as well. Inside the visualization, navigate to the Parameters tab within the pull-out drawer on the left and you will see this existing parameter listed there as an Unlinked Global Parameter. When you click on the toggle, it will automatically be linked. Now, click Apply.

7. If you want to link parameters, you can navigate to the Parameters section, click the three dots next to a parameter, and click Linked to. This will open the link menu that shows all the parameters that are available to link to.
