Actions on URL parameters are configured in the dashboard's view 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 in the view.Add URL parameters
To configure actions on URL parameters, complete the following steps:
- On the action bar, click the View button
to open the View pane. - Click the Settings tab for the view you want to add URL parameters to.
Note:
URL parameters are specific to the dashboard view. When you configure a URL parameter on the desktop view, it will not apply to the mobile view, and vice versa.
- In the URL parameters section, click Edit.
- Click Add URL parameter.
- Choose a type of parameter from the drop-down list and do the following:
- For the Category and Date parameters, provide a name, and make selections for Data type and Operator.
- For the Numeric parameters, provide a name, and make selections for Value type and Operator.
- For the Feature parameters, provide a name, click Change, and select a layer.
- For the Geometry parameter, provide a name, and make a selection for Value type.
- Expand the section for the type of action you want to enable.
For example, to enable a filter action, expand the Filter section.
- Turn on the toggle button for the element or elements you want to target.
- When all your actions have been enabled, click Done.
If a listed parameter-to-target pair is not available during dashboard configuration, the specific target element's configuration prevents the action. Unless otherwise noted, filter actions can target lists, details, charts, tables, embedded content, rich text, and selectors. They can also target indicator values and references, gauge values, minimums and maximums, and number selector minimum and maximum values. The sections below outline considerations for actions based on the parameter type and target elements.
Category, numeric, and date parameters
You can configure filter (attribute) actions when the parameter's selection changes. Supported target elements include map operational layers and a wide range of dashboard elements.
Feature parameter
For a feature parameter, you can configure map actions such as zoom, pan, flash, show pop-up, and follow feature to target the map element. You can also configure attribute or spatial filter actions to target map operational layers and other elements in the dashboard.
Geometry parameter
A geometry parameter's actions available for configuration depend on whether the value type is Point or Extent as follows:
- Geometry (point)—When a geometry parameter's value type is point, you can configure zoom, pan, and flash actions to target the map element.
- Geometry (extent)—When a geometry parameter's value type is extent, you can configure zoom to target the map element, and spatial filter actions to target map operational layers and other dashboard elements.
