Dashboard - Refresh/Redraw

It appears that my chart only changes when I "refresh" the Dashboard it is contained on, and the Parameter prompts do not prompt when I "redraw" the dashboards.

 

How can I get the chart to Refresh w/o the CV parameters prompting the user?

Thank you, Stephen

    Yes, redraw isn't requesting new data from the server, therefor it doesn't need these parameters.

    If you don't want a new parameter request from the dashboard, you need to use lists, comboboxes, buttons or other controls embedded in the dashboard. The cubeview is then picking up the parameter from these objects instead of requesting them from the user.

      Hi, thank you for responding ... I will explain in more detail ...I am using Comob Boxes and Buttons attached to parameters.  The Buttons/Drop downs are then connected to the Queries to change the data ... Am I not utilizing the Buttons and ComboBoxes correctly?

        Then it should work without a prompt. It sounds simple, but I also had problems like this caused by typos in the parameter name. Check the data adapter, but also the cubeview and labels.

        You can also check the parameter types for buttons and Dropdown? They are distinct and not interchangeable.

        I hope you will find the problem soon, if not please export the dashboard and the needed cubeviews and attach it here, I will have a look.
