Thread: Passing parameters between dashboards

  1. #1

    Default Passing parameters between dashboards

    Please forgive me if this is not the correct location for this question. I'm still quite new to Pentaho and the community.

    I am using Analyzer 4.5 and trying to work through how to create a link between two dashboards and pass the parameters that are selected via filter and to also pass the clicked value to the target dashboard.

    I found some other information out there on how to construct the URL for enabling this passing, but I have not been successful. I've been unable to find a detailed explination of how to create and where to find the values that are necessary in order to pass my values.

    Can someone point me in the right direction or explain how to go about doing this?

    Here is a link to the pentaho infocenter that explains how to do content linking within a single enterprise dashboard.

    This links the different panels within a single dashboard.

    If you are interested in passing parameters between completely different reports or dashboards, you will need to somehow set session variables which can be used by dashboards or reports. One way to set parameters is to use startup actions:
