Parameter Prompt Only on Specific Tab

Hello,

I created a dashboard with 3 different embedded dashboards. 2 are non-cube views and 1 is a cube view. I would like my parameter to only prompt and be able to be changed when I select the third tab. 

Is there a way possible to accomplish my idea or am I stuck with the prompt happening when I select the dashboard?

I've tried changing the dashboard types thinking it would default to what the other dashboards are but it still gives the parameter prompt on the first dashboard tab.

Thanks,

Will

  • Tabbed dashboards retrieve the data for all tabs when selected, which is why you get the prompt even when you're not on the tab. Your best bet is to use buttons (that look like tabs) on the main dashboard. Not only will this address what you're trying to accomplish, it will also render the main dashboard faster as it's only querying the data for one dashboard and not all tabs.

      Hey Chul,

      Yes, that's actually what I ended up doing. I made the main dashboard as "Top Level Without Parameter Prompts" then put a button where the 3rd tab is to let me change the entity I need to make changes to. 

      Thanks for the help!
