Issues Concerning Specifying Parameters in TIBCO JasperReports® Server Dashlets

In TIBCO JasperReports® Server User Guide, section 2.4 "Specifying Parameters in Dashlets", there are examples of how to hyperlink an ad hoc chart slice to another dashboard. For repository hyperlinks in a chart dashlet, users need to use the syntax ?filter_in_target=$P{dashlet_param} to pass the chart slice value to another dashboard.

"filter_in_target" is the filter internal reference name in the hyperlinked dashboard. To find out this filter's internal name, users can export the dashboard and inspect exported zip file content. Under dashboard repository structure, users should find a {dashboard_name}.xml file. In this file, look for <inputControl> seåction and filter_in_target name is identified in the <name> property tag.

As for the dashlet_param value in $P{} part of the URL, users can simply type in the field name in the dashlets properties parameters list.

NOTICE feature for Auto-complete parameters is based on previously accessed items in a dashboard in the designer. This feature does not provide items from all dashlets on a newly designed dashboard. Users will need to save the dashboard first, then edit hyperlink to get all available items in Auto-complete parameters list.
