Bind a Parameter to a Jump To

Parameter Binding When Jumping to Another Dashboard

While jumping to another dashboard, you can bind the parameter to a data column which is not in the data binding panel, using the component’s data Tooltip. In this scenario, in the Jump To dialog, we are sending a field in a parameter which is not bound to the component. For example, when you want to use a dataset field that is not bound to a scenario as a parameter value for Jump to a dashboard , you can create a scenario as described below: in the source dashboard, a chart is bound to the Temperature and Heat_Type, while in the Jump To dialog of the chart, we have used the field Unit_Process in the parameter and this Unit_Process value is what we are getting from the chart’s data tooltip.

Example:

1. Create a source dashboard, for example, ParameterBinding_Dashboard and add the dataset ProcessTempsDataset. In the DataBinding tab, add fields Temp(C) in Values and Heat_Type in Details and Unit_Process in the Tooltip.

   
   

   
   

2. Create a target dashboard, for example, Target_Dashboard and add the dataset ProcessTempsDataset. In the DataBinding tab, add fields Unit_Process in Values and Heat_Type in Axis(Category) field.

   
   

   
   

3. On the Inspector tab of the target dashboard, add the Parameters. We have added the field Unit_Process as a parameter which was added in a Tooltip in the source dashboard and was not bound to the data. Refer section Dashboard Parameters, for information about adding the parameters.

   
   

   
   

You can apply filters as well. We have applied filter based on the Heat_Type.

4. Now on the source dashboard, add a Jump To scenario and select the Value Type and Value for the parameters. The Value Type has the following options:

• Constant

• Selected Value

• Slicer

• Filtered Value

• Parameter

  
  

  
  

6. Now Preview the source dashboard and click on a particular Heat Type.

   
   

   
   

It will jump to the target dashboard and will display the details of count of the Process__Unit for the selected Heat_Type.

So, we can see from this example, that parameter Unit_Process that was not bound to the data on the source dashboard, is displayed on the target dashboard by adding the Unit_Process as tooltip in the source dashboard.
