Hi, 
I have 3 graph reports with the same set of Dynamic filters. I use these filters to compare the Customers by their amount of Purchase.
I want all these 3 reports in the Dashboard.
The problem is, these reports while placed in the dashboard doesn't show its Dynamic Filters. 
I require this dynamic filters on the Dashboard to compare.


Is there any way to show this dynamic filters along with their graphs in the Dashboard?


Thanks

Hi Vivek,

That's a great question, and it actually comes up a lot. It can be done, and it's fairly simple, but it is a bit outside of the box. Instead of adding a report widget to your dashboard page, you'll want to add a website widget.

  • First, go to the table and open your chart. Copy the URL for the chart from the address bar.
  • Then, on the dashboard, drag a Web Page widget down from the options along the top.
  • Paste the address into the URL, and at the end, with no spaces, add: 
    &ifv=10
Now, one thing to note with this: if the page that comes up is blank, then there is a realm setting that will need to be changed. A realm admin would need to engage with Customer Care to allow pages to be shown in iframes. 

Here's more on customizing the home page:
