Drill Through from Dashboard to Dashboard creates Global Filters in 11.1.7

[timness]

Hi All,

I've got a customer setting up a network of dashboards for their business in Cognos 11.1.7.

The data source for the dashboards is a Data Module so that they can have everything modelled and filtered the correct way for their dashboards.

So far, everything is gold, except -  then the user creates a drill through from one dashboard to another, even though not passing any parameters between dashboards, a global filter is created in the destination dashboard.

I've confirmed this behaviour on my own internal 11.1.7 server (again running dashboards from data modules to keep testing as close as possible). Global filters are passed through to the destination.

This is definitely not the desired behaviour, so i'm reaching out for help. Does anyone know how to turn off the creation of these global filters on the destination dashboard? I've spent a couple of hours googling, but haven't found anything useful yet.

Any help appreciated.
