Adding Interactive filters to reports in Portal

[saibandaru]

Hi All,

I’ve been exploring the use of UI Builder to create interactive filters for reports from a portal perspective. Specifically, I came across the option to use Client State Parameters to link filters to reports. While I understand the concept at a high level, I’m facing challenges in implementing it effectively.

Could someone please help clarify the following:

1. Conceptual Understanding: How do Client State Parameters work in the context of UI Builder filters? What is their role in dynamically linking filter values to report data?
2. Implementation Guidance: What are the steps or best practices to configure these parameters correctly within UI Builder?
3. Troubleshooting: Are there common pitfalls or limitations I should be aware of while using this approach?

Any examples or documentation references would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @saibandaru,

Client State Parameters act as shared variables that components can read from and write to. For example, a filter component can update a Client State Parameters, and a report or list can consume it to dynamically adjust its data.

To implement this effectively, I recommend reviewing these official resources:

• Creating Client State Parameters | ServiceNow Developer

• Working with Client State Parameters | ServiceNow Developer
• Exercise: Make a List Dynamic | ServiceNow Developer

If my response helped, please mark it as the accepted solution so others can benefit as well.
