Symptom
- Filter or dataset pre-selected for the Tile upon setup is not followed when running the Dashboard
- Tile-based dashboard applies filter settings for all tiles even though each tile has been configured to run for specific filters
Environment
- SuccessFactors Reporting and Analytics
- Dashboards 2.0
Resolution
The filters/dataset parameters work on a dashboard level and not on a tile level. So it is currently not possible to have one tile pull only data for a certain template or filter value, it will follow the dashboard selection. The user would have to re-select the dataset filters again or choose only one at a time. It is currently an expected behavior.
Workaround: An alternative would be to make the individual tiles available in the Home Page and not on a Dashboard. This way, the dataset or selection selection will be per individual tile.
The dashboards filter working on a tile-level is an enhancement request. It appears that this idea is already being considered, please see the following post over at the SAP Influence site:
New Dashboards need to respect tile filters
