Title: Filtering Business Insight Widgets
Post by: ComplexQry on 12 Sep 2011 01:05:26 PM
I really like the cosmetics of the Business Insight Charts over the Report Studio Charts.  So what I am trying to find out is how you filter multiple widgets on the Dashboard by objects that aren't displayed on the widget.  So as an example if I have multiple charts and none of them display Geographic information, but the user needs the ability to filter for a region.  So if they did, all charts would adjust accordingly for the region that was selected.  Is this possible?

Just a reminder if you go into the Settings in Report Studio and remove the "use Legacy Chart Authoring" that for some insane reason is clicked by default... you can get the same chart look and feel within Report Studio.

I am sorry I don't have the answer to your question but I wanted to point this out

Hi, yes you can filter widgets based on something which is not displayed in the widgets.
