Displaying a textbox parameter

This option allows you to specify a parameter filter text box in a dashboard filter.

If checked, this option supersedes all other values included in the Specified values option, on the Values tab of the Settings modal window. Instead, you can enter a parameter value you want to use at runtime, or search for data that matches certain values.. It creates a simple search box filter.

  1. Open an existing or new dashboard in Edit mode and add a new filter
  2. Hover over the filter you added until the controls appear on the top right.
  3. Click the Gear icon.
    The Settings modal window appears.
  4. Check the Display a text box parameter option on the Display Settings tab.
  5. Click APPLY.
    A parameter filter textbox appears.
  6. Enter a value in the textbox.
    In this example All-Bran is added.
The visual displays only All-Bran details.
