VCR Control on dropdown filters
Analytics users have often mentioned that they need the capability to easily select and see the values applied on the dashboard components automatically (without clicking on Apply button). ‘VCR control’ gives this capability on all filters irrespective of the filter type (autocomplete/dropdown). Earlier, this capability was available only on autocomplete (search and select) filters.
VCR controls allow users to get the attribute values as a list on a Details tab based on the hierarchy selection from the Overview (First) tab. Each value on the list will automatically be applied to the dashboard tab components by clicking on the ‘Previous’/’Next’ buttons available on the VCR-enabled filter.
To enable ‘VCR control’ on a filter of the dashboard, make sure that
- Hierarchy should be present on the first tab
- VCR Control will work on the attribute of the following tab only if the same attribute is present in the Hierarchy of the first tab.
E.g.
- In a Dashboard with tabs ‘Overview’ and ‘Details,’ Hierarchy should present in the Overview tab
- If the user wants to enable VCR Control on the ‘Wellname’ filter of the Details tab, ‘Wellname’ should be present in the hierarchy of the Overview tab
- ‘Edit filter’ section on the Details tab and change the filter to ‘Single Select.’
- Select the ‘Enable VCR Control’ check box
- Save filter settings and save the dashboard
- When the user selects any hierarchy level from the Overview tab, the ‘Wellname’ filter list on the Details tab will be updated for the values of that hierarchy selection with ‘Previous’ or ‘Next’ buttons.
