Filter across dashboards

I’ve done it before, but for the life of me can’t figure out how to do it now. I want to be able to cross filter a value, say a unique ID and direct myself to another dashboard that uses the same data source, and filter on the selected unique ID.

The way I’ve done this in the past would be to use a link parameter in the Unique ID dimension.

The url value of that parameter would be the dashboard URL, plus pass in the value of dimension into a query parameter that filters the dashboard for that Unique ID. 

So this is off the top of my head but something like:

dimension: unique_id {
link: {
label: "Link text"
url: "https://looker.com/dashboards/1?f[your_view_name.unique_id]={{ value }}"
}
}

Thanks! I found another solution and that was to enable Dashboard drilling from the Labs portal. Thanks for replying to me!

Gotcha. I think the only downsides to that are:

1. All dashboards that filter on that dimension will show in the menu, rather than just a curated list, and

2. You need to have a filter for that dimension in the target drill dashboard
