Allow Operations Dashboard URL parameter to SELECT (not filter)

ChelseaRozek — Mon, 06 Jan 2020 13:30:21 GMT

Currently, the URL parameter in Operations Dashboard will filter the category selector. When I pass param=City of Saline, I get:

This renders the dashboard mostly useless. Users cannot navigate between the rest of the municipalities themselves.

Please also allow the option to simply select that choice instead of filtering out all the rest so it would look more like this with the rest of the choices still there:

This would be soooooo much more useful. I would up-vote twice if I could!

Need this right now! Was looking for a way to make this happen in a dashboard at launch. As a way around this I might just launch on a empty record that takes everything to a status zero overview page look and feel.

This would be much more useful to my use cases. I want the URL parameter to link someone to a filtered view, but I also need my users to be able to clear that, using the selector, to view all points.

Any news on whether this is being looked at ESRI? The way it works currently seems slightly bizarre and counter-intuitive, and I can't even see what the use-case for it might be. It seems much more useful to be able to apply a selection via a URL parameter than to filter the selector itself. A big up-vote from me.

This would definitely be really useful - even if you could just set the selector to a default (kind of like the buttons) - but just inserting it into the URL for different locations where you will be placing the URL would be very useful.

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. My public crime map dashboard has selectors for municipalities in my province, so people can scoot around and see what’s going on everywhere. We get a lot if good will from the province, cities and towns when we provide « custom » mapping apps, but I do NOT want to maintain 250 apps, each with a different default in the selector....being able to use URL parameters to select instead of filter would make this SO easy.

This needs to be upvoted!

I have numerous clients that are looking for a Filter and Select function in dashboards. Please push up the list to-do!

Having the ability to set a URL Configuration for a "Select" action would be really helpful.

I would like to upvote this.

I would also love this functionality. And also something similar for web map apps.

Unfortunately, this is still happening in the new ArcGIS Dashboards. I used a URL parameter to go straight to the Fourth Floor, however, now all the other floors are missing from the category selector.

Just upvoted! I would love a "select" option as well in the Parameters option as @CCRC_Mapping posted. There also needs to be an option to bypass the "none" selection in a category selector.

Hello, this feature would be so helpful to open a dashboard and display data for a specific category !

Filtering categories by url parameter is not really useful.

We need a "select categories" by Url Parameter because it will automate the way the user interacts with the categories selector. The interactivity of a Dashboard that contains a category selector is based on actions triggered by the selection of some categories.

Same boat as everyone else, really need a select instead of filter so other data is still visible.

Agree - Just ran into this issue myself. The only work around I could do was to simply embed a text hyperlink into the dashboard to "show all data". The hyperlink just reloads the dashboard url with no param pair. Works in a standalone dashboard example but will fall over if the dashboard is embedded.

Almost 3 years later and I saw the blog post about the new Dashboard Reset feature. I was excited, thinking it would finally solve this issue, but it does not. The URL parameter still filters down the category selector and the refresh icon did not appear for me.

@LiamHarrington-Missin yes, this could be a workaround (very ugly indeed) that works if your users are fine with "one or all" of the options. If they are looking for "one, many or all" it does not work anymore.

I find this functionality have to be implemented asap, using URL parameters to select and/or (even better) to let defini a default selection when configuring the category selector as multiple.

Upvoted!

Yes completely agree. There needs to be an option to SELECT (not filter) using URL parameters. This would also include:

Selecting an item in a list.
Selecting a feature on the map.

Both of these can be used to drive other actions.

This would assist my current predicament with my dashboard. URL parameter and selector widget both filtering the same stuff. Therefor the behavior is not compatible. This would make them compatible.
