Configure actions on URL parameters

Actions on URL parameters are configured in the dashboard settings. The configuration options you choose for a URL parameter as well as the configuration options set on dashboard target elements determine the types of actions you can configure.

Note:

It is recommended that you add URL parameters after all dashboard elements have been added and configured.

Add URL parameters

To configure actions on URL parameters, complete the following steps:

1. On the dashboard toolbar, click the dashboard settings button .
2. In the URL parameters section, click Edit.
3. Click Add URL parameter.
4. Choose a type of parameter from the drop-down list and do the following:
   • For the Category and Date parameters, enter a name and make selections for Data type and Operator.
   • For the Numeric parameters, enter a name, and make selections for Value type and Operator.
   • For the Feature parameters, enter a name, click Change, and select a layer.
   • For the Geometry parameter, enter a name, and make a selection for Value type.
5. Expand the section for the type of action you want to enable. For example, to enable a filter action, expand the Filter section.
6. Turn on the toggle button for the element or elements you want to target.
7. When all your actions have been enabled, click Done.

Only actions that are possible are listed. If a specific parameter-to-target pair is not listed, that type of interaction is not possible. If a listed parameter-to-target pair is not available during dashboard configuration, the specific target element's configuration prevents the action.
