Questions on Conditional Loading and Filtering in Platform Analytics Dashboard

[Bhanu29]

Hi Team,

I am currently using the Platform Analytics dashboard component in our Digital Product Release application. We have integrated the dashboard component using UI Builder, and I have a couple of questions regarding its behavior:

1. Is it possible to load a specific dashboard conditionally based on certain logic? I understand that this can be achieved using the dashboardSysId property; however, this property is not exposed in the UI. Could you please advise on how we can leverage dashboardSysId to implement conditional dashboard loading?
2. If we need to filter dashboard data based on a specific sys_id (for example, to display records related to a particular release), what would be the recommended approach to achieve this?

1) Is it possible to load a specific dashboard conditionally based on certain logic? I understand that this can be achieved using the dashboardSysId property; however, this property is not exposed in the UI. Could you please advise on how we can leverage dashboardSysId to implement conditional dashboard loading?

-> Create a Client State Parameter (e.g., selectedDashboardSysId) in UI Builder.

-> Use a Scripted Data Resource or event handler to set its value conditionally:

-> ensure your dashboard has this workspace added in "Dashboard Visibility" field

// Example script in Data Resource (Server Script)
(function() {
    var condition = /* your logic, e.g., based on gs.getUser().hasRole('admin') */ ;
    if (condition) {
        return 'sys_id_of_dashboard_1'; // Fetch from pa_dashboards table
    } else {
        return 'sys_id_of_dashboard_2';
    }
})();

-> In the component properties (JSON mode or via binding), set defaultDashboard to ${states.selectedDashboardSysId}
