(v24) Publish a Link

Publish a Link

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

For each visual in a dashboard, you can select cross-source and same-source links to publish. When a visual publishes a link, that visual can apply cross-visual filters using the link field to other dashboard visuals that have subscribed to the link. Cross-visual filters can only be applied if the associated link is published. In addition, they can only be applied using the Filter option on the context menu.

Publish a same-source or cross-source link for a dashboard visual

1. Select cross-link icon on the dashboard icon bar. The Dashboard Interactions dialog appears. In the following image, no cross-source links are defined for the dashboard.

   

2. Select the Cross-Visual Filtering tab.

   

3. Select a visual in the Visuals list on the left of the tab. The right side of the tab show the link filters available to be published in the Published filters table.

   

4. If you want to publish all of the links available for the visual, slide the Enable All switch on (to the right).

   If you just want to publish an individual link, locate the link name in the table of Published filters, and slide its corresponding switch in the Enabled column on. Repeat this for every individual link you want published.

5. When you have finished identifying the published links for a visual, select Apply.

6. Optionally, repeat Steps 3 through 5 for other visuals listed on the left of the tab. Remember to select Apply after each update or the link settings for a visual will not be stored.

7. Save the dashboard to save the cross-visual link specifications.
