  • 1.  Dynamic Page Filter Values

    Posted May 26, 2016 02:20 PM

    Does anyone know if it is possible to dynamically populate a page filter?

     

    We have a Resource Management dashboard that has a page filter on it for the Resource OBS. I know I can have the Resource Manager fill this is and save it as their default. I'm wondering if it possible to have the page filter pull the Resource Manager's OBS and use that as it's initial page filter. The thought being that if a Resource Manager moves teams the page filter would always pull the current Resource OBS the manager is in instead of having the manager create a new default filter.

    Nope don't think so.

     

    If your portlets on the page are NSQL based then you can add logic to make it "user-sensitive" (the NSQL construct @WHERE:PARAM:USER_ID@ picks up the logged-in-user id) so you could build something that functionally does similar to what you describe (but not in the way that you describe it with filters )
