    • Create the list that users see when they tap on your chart screen.

    Before you begin

    Role required: admin
    Create a parameterized list to provide your users with the option to view the records that make up sections of your data visualization. The user taps on an area of the data visualization to drill down to a list of records. Creating a parameterized list is similar to creating a standard list. In addition to the steps used to create a standard list, you must create.
    • A parameterized data item for your list. This data item uses your parameter to filter what data is displayed in your list. In this case, the records from your chart screen.
    • A parameter on your list screen. This parameter stores the value passed into your list.
    • A screen UI parameter mapping to associate the parameter in your list with the parameter in your data item.
