https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-dashboards-questions/can-i-have-an-element-quot-render-only-when/m-p/1712944#M12164 <P>Hi, does anyone know if I can make a Dashboard element render only when filtered, without defining WHICH filer needs to be applied? I have species data in a list, with multiple list entries for each species. I only want data entries to appear for one species at a time. So, I have a species selector for the list element, and the list only renders when a single species selection is made.&nbsp;</P><P>However, here's what I want to do: I want to be able to link to the dashboard with a given species already selected (for example, interested in X species? --&gt; link to dashboard, where filter for X species will be automatically applied, therefore showing list entries for X species on loading). I'm trying to do this with URL parameters, with a category parameter that filters the list. However, it doesn't work if the list has "render only when filtered" for either the URL parameter or the species selector.&nbsp;</P><P>I want the list to render when EITHER a URL parameter OR the species selector is acting as a filter.</P><P>Maybe I just don't know how URL parameters truly work? or it's just not possible? Would love to know if I'm missing something or if anyone has a workaround to achieve this goal!!! Thank you!!</P> Tue, 07 Jul 2026 15:46:58 GMT MeganHomison 2026-07-07T15:46:58Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-dashboards-questions/can-i-have-an-element-quot-render-only-when/m-p/1712944#M12164 <P>Hi, does anyone know if I can make a Dashboard element render only when filtered, without defining WHICH filer needs to be applied?

Not sure what I'm doing wrong</P> Tue, 07 Jul 2026 15:52:41 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-dashboards-questions/can-i-have-an-element-quot-render-only-when/m-p/1712952#M12166 MeganHomison 2026-07-07T15:52:41Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-dashboards-questions/can-i-have-an-element-quot-render-only-when/m-p/1712958#M12168 <P>Sorry, JK, the parameter is working, the original issue with "render only when filtered" still stands</P> Tue, 07 Jul 2026 15:59:58 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-dashboards-questions/can-i-have-an-element-quot-render-only-when/m-p/1712958#M12168 MeganHomison 2026-07-07T15:59:58Z
