Below are general instructions for creating content links in an Analyzer report, (inside a dashboard), that can be used to drive the parameter values of content in other dashboard panels. You must adjust the instructions when working with your own data.
-
Create a simple dashboard that
contains an Analyzer report and a
data table.
At this point, none of the content has been linked and you have a "static" dashboard.
In the example here, when content linking is achieved, the list of territories (APAC, EMEA, Japan, and NA) will become hyperlinks that, when clicked, will update customer details data table. To get the correct filter display, a parameterized query that drives the content in the data table must be created.
-
Add a parameterized condition to
the query for the data table by specifying a parameter name in curly braces in
the Value text box; then, provide a default value for
that parameter in the Default text box.
In the example here, a parameter called TERRITORY with a default value of NA has been created. Parameterizing a query, as described here, allows you to pass values dynamically and update the chart based on events triggered by other elements of the dashboard such as a user choosing an item from a filter control or following links defined in content associated with another panel in the dashboard.
-
Under General
Settings, choose the Analyzer report. Click the Content Linking
tab then click the check box next to the field/column name you want enabled for
content linking. Click Apply.
In the Analyzer report, the values under the Territory become hyperlinks.
In the example below, content linking was applied. When users click a territory
hyperlink in the Analyzer report, the data
table updates and displays customer-related details associated with that specific
territory exclusively.
