In particular, when a user clicks on a Month data point from a line Chart, we want to use it in a filter for a subdashboard (embeded via Web Url) to show records just for that month. Any guidance to help us achieve our requirement would be much appreciated.....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01787934218972536341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998628784041768080.post-29261664437160038462017-07-31T01:09:33.718+01:002017-07-31T01:09:33.718+01:00Hi Andy,

In my experience, the url filters apply to the entire dashboards, irrespective of whether or not the particular field is on the filter shelf of each of the worksheets. In certain cases, the user wants the filter to be not applied on a specific chart and filter the rest of the dashboard.

It appears I can only use parameter values and not filter values. For example, on the dashboard I have 4 separate viz's. They all have filters for location based on a parameter since they each have a different sql data source.
