Dashboard Interactive Filter

[ChezAndrewI0898]

Use Case:

I have a dashboard with an Interactive Filter, Reports and Content Block in one tab, the content block is not following the interactive filter.

Is there any way I can get the interactive filter value to a widget?

For reference the Interactive Filter is custom, using UI Macro:

Custom Interactive Filter

Thanks.

Hi there @ChezAndrewI0898 

you can pass the filter value to a widget using URL parameters or GlideRecord queries in the widget's server script.

1. make sure that the interactive filter sets a URL parameter when a value is selected.

<!-- Example custom UI Macro -->
<g:macro>
  <select id="interactive_filter" onchange="updateFilter(this.value)">
    <!-- Options here -->
  </select>
  <script>
    function updateFilter(value) {
      var url = new URL(window.location);
      url.searchParams.set('filter_value', value);
      window.location = url;
    }
  </script>
</g:macro>

Now upadte widget to use filter val

(function() {
    // Get the filter value from the URL parameters
    var filterValue = gs.getSession().getRequestParameter('filter_value');

    // Use the filter value in your GlideRecord query
    var gr = new GlideRecord('your_table');
    if (filterValue) {
        gr.addQuery('your_filter_field', filterValue);
    }
    gr.query();
    
    var result = [];
    while (gr.next()) {
        result.push(gr.getDisplayValue());
    }
    
    data.result = result;
})();

If this helps kindly accept the respone thanks much.

This is very helpful, but this will refresh the page upon selecting filter.

Is there a way wherein the page wont reload and just append parameter on URL?

Thanks.

Also, I can't seem to get the URL parameter from dashboard widget.
