Beeswing77  - You can also try current WF selection. based on the Current WF Profile it will displays the status. It is more dynamic, in this method the user should select the WF Profile before executing the dashboard.

Hi,

Yes, that was our starting point. 

In this instance though that doesn't work for us.  The dashboard shows the workflow status for all workflows in the Group. We have a button set up so that if you select one line of the dashboard and then press the button it jumps you straight to the relevant entity's workflow.  If the dashboard is dynamic, like you suggest, when we jump back to the dashboard it will only show the entity that we drilled in on, instead of the Group.
